Contributed ScwjpgThe Good Shepherd Lutheran College under-13 futsal team took out the Australasian Championships on the Gold Coast recently.

The Good Shepherd team won a tense final against Cairns College, St Andrew’s.

The game went down to the wire with the champions being decided by a penalty shootout after drawing 3-3 and a nail-biting 10 minutes of golden-goal extra time.

Good Shepherd was unbeaten in the schools’ competition against teams from Australia and New Zealand.

The team also played against a New Zealand representative team, narrowly losing 2-1.

The boys impressed the visiting Kiwis with their skill and sportsmanship, earning themselves an invitation to tour NZ next year.

Goalkeeper Mitchell Kiefer was awarded Best Keeper of the Tournament.

Coach Brett de Chastel and head of sport Steve Carey could not have been happier with the squad’s performance over the three-day tournament.

“Each player made an important contribution to the success of the team and can be proud of themselves,” Brett said.

Planning is under way for what will hopefully be the team’s first overseas competition.
