Mayor Graeme Lehmann said the sporting event was a great way for students from different schools to get together and for many students to play on the fields of their future secondary school.

“The kids obviously enjoyed themselves at this event, and there’s a spirit of competition between the schools that sees the teams having fun while keeping an eye on the trophy.

“There were a few games that were hotly contested, and I think a few soccer players were inspired by the Matildas, given the penalty shoot outs in some of those games,” Mayor Lehmann said.

The event saw years’ five and six students from Esk, Harlin, Linville and Toogoolawah State Schools competing in netball and soccer. Somerset Regional Council supported the event by providing bus transport for students and teachers to and from the host school.

Council thanked students for participating in the event, staff for assisting in its facilitation and Toogoolawah State High School for both hosting the event and setting up and refereeing the games.
