In boys soccer, the competition is fierce, with Westbourne Grammar’s 1st team holding off St Michael’s Grammar by a single game. The tight race adds excitement as both teams vie for the top position.

 

While Westbourne Grammar leads all the lower divisions, St Michael’s Grammar School remains undefeated in boys volleyball, making them the team to beat in this category.
