Football 2009
SEMI FINAL:  We lost only one game for the season and finished 2nd on the ladder. Our first game was against Oakleigh South (we had previously won by 7 points). Unfortunately we had many kids away and no ruckmen. We knew it was going to be a tough match. They came out firing and got the first and only goal for the quarter. Oakleigh South were ahead by 10 points at half time. We kicked the first goal in the third quarter and continued to exchange goals, finishing the third quarter 11 points down.  We kicked the first goal of the fourthquarter but they bounced back with three more goals.  Oakleigh South won by 20 points, despite our best efforts.
GAME 2: The second game was against St Paul’s.  After a slow start we ended up three points ahead at the end of the first quarter and continued to build a strong lead as the game went on. Well done to all the boys in the team, we had a fantastic season and hope you all enjoyed it.  Thanks Miss Sison for coaching us.

2008 A.F.L.  FOOTBALL  by  B.S.  W.B.   K.A.
All football games were played at Oakleigh Secondary College.  The team had a great start in the first game, winning 61 – 0 Vs Coatesville. Players attacked the ball hard, ran in packs and used handball very effectively. In the secondgamewe kicked 4 goals into a howling wind andwon our second game Vs Oakleigh Greek College by 12 goals. The third game Vs Oakleigh South decided who would finish on top of the pool andgo on to play in the grand final. We won the toss andkicked 5 goals withthe wind in the first half. The team continued to work hard andkicked two more goals against the windin the second half, winning the final game and finishing on top of our pool.  When the final siren went, all the boys were very tired andvery happy.  PS The MPS football team went on to win the BDPSSA grand final and will play-off in the VPSSA Winter Championships.  Good luck boys !

In the final game we played really well together and scored some spectaculargoals, including a diving header. We won our final game 7 – 0 Vs Coatesville. Overall we had a great day, scored some goals, played some tough games but never gave up. Thanks to all the parents who came to support us.

2008 SOCCER GIRLS  by  R.P.  J.C.  L.F.
Soccer games were played at CoatesvillePrimarySchool. It was a very cold and eventful day filled with lots of soccer fun.  Our first game against OakleighGreekCollege was very close, with a penalty for a hand-ball being the only goal scored during the game. Our goal keepers (I.P. & E.P.) both played really well and saved many goals. In the end, we played very well andwerea bit unlucky. The second game Vs Oakleigh South, was very tough. OSPS had a very skilled goal keeper. We scored our first goal, but lost to OSPS 3 – 1.  Our final game Vs Coatesville was really good fun.  A variety of players contributed by kicking fantastic goals and our goal keepers also played well. We won our final game 7 – 0.  We had a really good time together.  Oakleigh Greek College won the girls division. MPS came third over-all.
