PREP SCHOOL SOCCER
Yet another season has passed. We did not perform as well as we had hoped or reach the objectives we had set ourselves as Bishop Bavin School soccer team.

We had two teams in our programme this season, U/11 AND U/12. The teams played eight games, between them, managing to win one, drawing two and losing five. Even though the results show a less than successful season, it should be said that the boys played their hearts out and in the process also had fun!

They did make Bishop Bavin School proud, as their behavior was exemplary and they never dropped their heads.
Thank you to all the parents for their co-operation during training times and away games.
Yet another season has passed. See you next season!

COLLEGE SOCCER

With the Soccer World Cup 2010 behind the door, all the soccer players were in the mood to come and show their skills during trials to find a place in their respective age groups. We had approximately 45 boys who came for trials and even if they didn’t make the teams they still came back for practice and supported the teams all the way.

Last year we ended the season with a big bang by beating a very strong Holy Family team by 4-0; and this year we started the season with a really enormous bang by beating St. Catherine by 6-0. What a start it was to the season!!!! It was an amazing one for both teams (Under 16 and Open) for we finished our season unbeaten!!!!

The brotherhood and the spirit of camaraderie among the players were really the highlight for this season 2009. Everyone was there for each other; prayer took priority prior to all our matches and thanks given to God after each game. Each player lived to the school motto “Christ above all”. The boys really make the school so proud by their dedication, commitment and hard work in keeping the Bishop Bavin flag flying.

Thank you to all these young gentlemen for their outstanding performances and to all the Matrics, your dedication and your zeal to defend the colours of Bishop Bavin will be engraved forever in the younger generation’s heart and we wish you all the best for the bigger game you’ll be playing in November.

Special thank you to Mr. Khumalo for sponsoring the Open Team with an amazing soccer kit; to the Head of College, Mr. G. Dippenaar and all the College staff, Mrs Debbie Ellis for your amazing motivation and support, Mr. Dirk Odendal and Mr. Neil Levenson for all your organisation, (transport and matches) and last but not least to Father Ellis for your unfailing encouragement, prayers and blessings.
