SSV Primary State Finals

What a glorious day at the School Sport Victoria (SSV) Primary State Finals, which were held at Fawkner Park on Friday, 29 November. 20 teams competed across 2 divisions, and it was great to see so many new teams making it to the Finals. There was tremendous improvement throughout the day. A big congratulations to all the teams from the following schools for an awesome day of lacrosse!

Beaumaris North Primary School

Hartwell Primary School

Mentone Primary School

Mount Waverley North Primary School

Newport Gardens Primary School

St Clare's Primary School, Thomastown

St Leo the Great Primary School

St Mary's Primary School, Williamstown

St Patrick's Primary School, Mentone

Wembley Primary School

Williamstown Primary School

Williamstown PS faced off against one of their rivals St Mary’s of Williamstown in the Grand Final of the All Gender Division, after both going undefeated for the day in respective pools. There was lots of back and forth throughout the game, but it was St Mary’s who came out on top, 14 – 9.

In the Girls’ Division there were 2 teams that were above all the rest! And they met in the first and the last rounds of the day! Both scoring over 90 goals for the tournament, they were in a league of their own. But in the end, St Patrick’s was just too strong for Mentone, and they pulled away 13 – 6 in the Grand Final.

To wrap up the day, we had the pleasure of Jamie Parsons, the CEO of School Sport Victoria, remind the students how great the sport of lacrosse is and particularly now that the sport is in the Olympics. We could have some of our SSV State Champions donning the Green & Gold in Los Angelos and hopefully in Brisbane 2032.

Congratulations again to all the teams who competed, and thank you to all the Teachers, Coaches, Officials, and Volunteers who helped make the day so wonderful! Hope to see everyone again next year!
