“You want to represent your school well and have good sportsmanship out on the field.
“Of course revenge is a bit of a motivation, but hopefully we can just play a good game.”
But it wont be easy.
While the northern SATIS schools have just finished their roster before the state final, the southern soccer roster finished at the end of term one.
“The north get the advantage as we haven’t played a game since first term.
We’ve put in bit of practice but it is pretty hard. The north have just come off their season.”
