WUFC Match Day Experience

On Saturday, March 8, Bacchus Marsh Grammar students had an unforgettable experience attending the A-League match between Western United FC and Wellington Phoenix. The event was a fantastic opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the excitement of professional football and support our school’s community partnership club.

Before the match, BMG students supervised pre-game football clinics and fan engagement activities, where they had the chance to enjoy the lively match-day atmosphere. These activities provided a great way for students to connect with the club and experience a professional football environment.

A special highlight of the evening was Year 3 Woodlea student Mehrish K being selected to deliver the match ball at the start of the game-a proud moment for both Mehrish and our school community. Adding to the excitement, all BMG students in attendance were invited to participate in a half-time march around the pitch, soaking in the electric atmosphere as the crowd cheered them on.

Western United secured a well-earned victory, strengthening their position as they push towards the upcoming finals series. It was a fantastic experience for our students, reinforcing the power of sport in bringing people together and inspiring young athletes to dream big.
