INTERSCHOOL FOOTBALL
Five teams from RBS had the privilege of attending the interschool football tournament at Stanmore Bay Park. The weather was glorious and the action intense as our boys’ and girls’ teams battled it out for football supremacy. All teams played hard and fair against challenging opposition. Special congratulations to the Rovers who were overall winners of the Girls’ competition, and the Knights who came out on top in an epic penalty shootout in their final game. A big thanks to the coaches and managers who helped train the teams and supported them on the day.
