Futsal girls carry on proud tradition

Wednesday 18 June, 2008

BOSSLEY Park High School's under-15 girls' futsal team proves Fairfield continues to be a cradle for soccer talent.

The outfit claimed the 2008 School Regional Futsal Championships at the Dural Sport and Leisure Centre recently.

Striker and captain Heidi Makrillos was instrumental in propelling her team to victory during the five-game event, while defender Christina Palumbo was also nominated as a standout.

"We just excelled so well at the back," coach Tina Nastasi said.

Fellow players Jessica Coates, Katarina Mihaljek, Jessica De Souza, Elyse Cuerden and Cindy Yildiz were also lauded for their contribution.

"They work together as a team so well," Nastasi said.

"They read each other, they talk, they're always moving around finding the right space."

The May 30 win sealed the side a place in the State Championships at Penrith Sports Stadium on Thursday, June 26.
