Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields) [1.30 p.m.]: It is a sunny spring Saturday morning. Players are nervous. The tension is high. The crowd is cheering. Parents, grandparents, friends and family are watching every kick and every chase of the ball. It all comes down to the final game of the season for the St Marys Eaglevale Under 12s Division 2 Soccer Club against their arch rivals, the Camden Falcons. Having lost twice to the Falcons this year, could it be a three-peat loss to end what had been an excellent season? Not this time. St Marys Eaglevale's defence was rock solid with Alex Engeler in goal. They dominated possession and scored two goals to take the grand final for 2015. I congratulate the players, parents and coaching staff who put in so much effort to make the St Marys Eaglevale Under 12s Division 2 team worthy champions for 2015. Watch out Under 13s Division 1 in 2016—here come the Saints!
