A tough day of weather made for an interesting day of footy. A cruisey victory to start the day against Iona was the end of the easy victories as St Ignatius came out firing with some quality skills in the rain. A clock error from the umpires had us on shaky ground in the dying seconds, but SHC managed to hold on for victory.

A new format saw us play Covenant College in the semi-final, their first finals appearance in GISSA football. They put up a good fight, but the SHC players were able to pull away (again in the wet) to prevail by 15 points.

We now go on to play Clonard College in a couple of weeks’ time for the GISSA grand final. Congratulations to Evie Albones who was awarded best player and Jayde Morrissy who was awarded best sports person for the day.
