Mullumbimby High School’s futsal program has continued to produce representative players and great results in local competitions, despite another year without an onsite training facility.
After last year’s heroics at the Scholastic Nationals two students have recently returned from overseas futsal tours.
Ella Brittain, a Year 11 student had an exciting tour in the US playing for an U/16 Australian Futsal Association (AFA) team and Honey Mowbray from Year 10 travelled to Brazil with an AFA U/15 team.
Six students have also been selected to represent South East Queensland in this year’s national tournament.
Polly Jefed and Honey Mowbray will be playing in the U/15 girls competition, while Finn McKenzie and Neehal Wijaya are in the U/15 boys team. Archie Baines and Rueben Polo-Angeli have also been selected in the U/13 boys team.
At last week’s Combined High Schools (CHS) Far North Coast Titles the Mullumbimby High U/14 and U/16 boys teams both finished third, which was a fabulous result considering both teams were a year underage.
The U/14 girls also finished third only going down by one goal to a strong Tweed River team who went on to win the final.
The U/16 girls team continued on their winning way taking out the final 11-0 and will travel to Coffs Harbour next month to defend their CHS North Coast Title.
In co-operation with Brunswick Valley Football Club the four astroturf courts across the road from the school have now been opened, after the destruction from the floods of 2022. So things are starting to look up for the students going forward.
