On Monday 19 August, Newington College Football sent a squad of 1st and 2nd XI players to contest the CIS Cup Final against Illawarra Grammar School at Hensley Park in Eastgardens. Despite a rocky start with Illawarra Grammar scoring a goal within the first five minutes of the game, the boys showed great heart and resolve to draw level and eventually win the game via the notorious penalty shootout.

From here we play the best Combined Catholic Colleges side in NSW in September.
