ACT girls named in National Schoolgirls Squads.

At the recent National Secondary Schools Football Comp in Darwin the ACT School girls performed exceptionally well.

The ACT team came a highly credible third. An outstanding achievement given the size of our population.

Most of the team was made up of ACTAS players coached by former Socceroo Robbie Hooker.

The team produced some excellent performance including two draws against powerhouse states Qld and NSW who came first and second respectively.

Our girls only lost to Victoria in a game that I'm told we should have easily won.

And in another great boost for the local game, three of our girls made the Australian schoolgirls.

They are the tournaments topscorer Stephanie Tokich (golden boots: 6 goals),
Jenny Bissett and Rebecca Kiting.

Four other ACT girls also made the shadow squad. The four players are
Chrissy Walters, Ellie Raymond, Sarah Crittenden & Sophie Kochinos.

Well done to all the team. Here's hoping we have some more Young Matildas coming through, and more importantly the girls all had a great time.
