Senior Boys Footy Trip


By Stephen, Gabriel, Curtis, Kevin & Jason
Last week the senior boys from Tiwi College went into Darwin for a 5 day Clontarf football camp. Our first game was against St John’s and it was not good as we lost by about 8 goals. We then went to Mindel beach for a BBQ dinner. We stayed at Casuarina Secondary College that night. The next day we had a session at the NTIS with the NT Thunder coaches. After training we played against the CSC and it was a good game between us and the CSC which ended in a draw.

The next day we drove down to Jabiru and we stayed there for a night.  It was a long drive and took us over 4 hours to get there. We played against Jabiru and beat them easily. That night we had a BBQ and Jason & Stephen cooked the food for all the boys. Mr Gawain was making us laugh! The next day we got up early and drove back to Darwin.

Back in Darwin we played Kormilda and it was a really good game. Unfortunately we lost by 3 goals in the end. That night we went to the Wharf for tea and had fish and chips. On Friday we went shopping at Casuarina and then came home to the Tiwi Islands. 

We would like to thank the Clontarf and Tiwi College staff for taking us on the camp!
