Staff 2. Students 0. But who’s counting? ⚽
On Friday 5 June, our Staff took on the Students in the next round of the 2026 Staff vs Student series, this time on the soccer field.
The Students came in highly fancied, despite missing their fearless leader Will M., who swapped boots for manager duties. The Staff, meanwhile, arrived with understandable concerns about hamstrings, fitness levels and the possibility of a goal avalanche.
But with some handy recruits in Coach Hope, Coach Liam and Luke W. in goals, the Staff did more than just survive. They competed, defended, threw in a few brave slide tackles and were very nearly rewarded with an early goal.
After a tense second half, plenty of foiled attempts and no shortage of sideline noise, the match went to a sudden death penalty shootout.
And in true underdog fashion, the old wise heads of the Staff team held their nerve, with some brilliant goalkeeping from Luke W. sealing a massive win for the Staff.
That makes it 2-0 to the Staff in the 2026 series.
Next up: Touch football in Term 3. Students, the comeback starts now.
💙💛
