The Lowood State High School senior girls’ futsal team have secured district bragging rights.

The team dominated regional rivals Mary MacKillop Catholic College and Lockyer District High School in the Under 19 Regional Schools Futsal Championships at Lockyer Valley Sports Centre on 30 April.

Undefeated in the championships, the under-19 Lowood side also managed to go all group matches without conceding a goal and dominate the big dance, winning the grand final 7-1 against Mary MacKillop College to declare it a Somerset title.

Lowood State High School Football Academy coordinator Jacob Veraart said he was most pleased with the team’s ability to play in the proper nature of the game and build significant momentum.

“They are always striving to improve, and they always play in the right spirit and really work as a unit to get the result,” he said.

“This team has been building for the last two years and recently added a couple of younger girls to its roster.”

The futsal side will now prepare for Schools Futsal League Finals and Southern Queensland Futsal Championships later in the term.

The Southern Queensland Futsal Championship welcomes the top two schools from the metropolitan west, east, north, south, south coast and Sunshine Coast regions.
