2026 Sydney West Football Championships (Boys)

On Monday 15th June, the CHPSSA Boys Football team competed in the Sydney West Boys Football Championships at Valentine Sports Park.

The boys started the day by scoring an early goal within the first minute, of the first game, and controlled the rest of the game to secure a 2-0 win against Hawkesbury.

In the 2^nd and 3^rd pool games we faced some difficult defensive teams. The games against St. Marys and Blacktown ended in 0-0 draws, despite our dominance and numerous scoring chances. The boys were frustrated after these results, however, we pushed on and knew that if we could win our final group game we would secure a place in the semi-finals.

Our final group game was against Mt. Druitt and was a must-win. The boys displayed an outstanding level of intensity and secured a dominant 4-0 win to earn a place in the semi-finals.

We placed 2^nd in our pool, despite being undefeated and not conceding a goal, which meant that we played first place in Pool A, which was Parramatta. The boys continued and maintained their intensity from the final pool game and scored a variety of excellent goals. The semi-final ended 4-0, which meant that we would play Blacktown in the Grand Final.

With two undefeated teams playing in the final, we knew that it was going to be a difficult game. We continued our front-foot approach and created some great scoring chances. Unfortunately, despite Hudson’s and Julius’ powerful strikes on goal, the Blacktown keeper made two high-class saves to deny us from scoring.

The game ended as a 0-0 draw, with two deserving winners, Blacktown and Castle Hill (as per Sydney West rules -> if the final is a draw both teams are joint premiers).

Congratulations to the following students who were selected for the Sydney West team:
