Leo, Roving Reporter Report from: My Desk Story filed: A very nice weekend Hey folks hope you're doing well, I have some exciting news for you, or at least for me. When it comes to winter sports I have been a diehard soccer player, there hasn't been a single time during winter sports that I haven't played soccer. Now I wouldn't say I'm a bad soccer player, I quit like the sport and would think of myself as alright but I've never been one of those boys that played district soccer I'm not that good. But I digress, because as of last weekend my beloved first 11 ISA school soccer team won our grand final. It was a great accomplishment, we couldn't be happier. The ISA grand final was held at the Marconi Stadium on the synthetic grass field, which was an interesting experience as I don't get to play on synthetic grass fields a lot. It was a great win 1-4 our way, our opponent was St Paul's College and they put up a good fight but ultimately not good enough. It was a really good way to finish the season as our team is made up of us year 11s, mostly year 12s and one year 9 kid (he's pretty good). So that was our year 12s last ever game for the college as they finished up this year, so I can say it was a very emotional final few words at the end but I'm sure we all made our coach proud. The next following day I had to head back down to Sydney with some of my teammates as we had to play with our school concert band at the NSW Band Championships. We weren't very thrilled to have to get back on another bus but I'd say it was worth it as we placed first in every section and over all in the concert band grade C section. All in all, it was a pretty dang good weekend, only downside is I'm tired as ever. Until next time Leo Roving Reporter
