VITTORIA CHARITY CUP
On Sunday 17th October thirteen of Melbourne's best restaurants took the time out to turn to the pitch for the Vittoria Charity Cup at Olympic Park, Melbourne.
The players came together for a lesson of the rules from the Victoria Police Soccer Club referees who donated their time on the day and then we all moved to the pitch for a group photograph.
The rivalry had started!
The Press Club team, including players from The Press Club, Hellenic Republic and Maha, lost our first match but we came back to win our second match against Le Chien. We were feeling good.
Onto our third match, we knew we had to work hard against Sette Bello and unfortunately it was again a loss, but finally we made victory in our final match against Le Petit Gataeu. This match saw us win with many goals on the board, sending us into the finals!
The cheer squad was armed and ready to cheer in our first final against Coda. It was a close match but we got there in the end. I re-grouped the team for the final, and we went in with a plan. The competition went to full pitch so we had to put the toughest players in! A nail bitting finish, but we managed to win 1-0.
We couldn't have asked for the day to run better (except for perhaps a little more sunshine).
We really appreciate how everyone gave it their all on the field and in the stalls. I'm happy to announce that all the generous donations from Teams, Sponsors and the general public has raised approx $65,000 for the Starlight Children's Foundation! This money will go directly toward helping Starlight to brighten the lives of seriously ill children through our programs including Wish Granting, Escapes for families and of course Captain Starlight fun in the hospital right when kids need it.
We can't wait for next year!
