Football at Trinity commenced in 1975 and has grown to be one of the main winter sports with over 40 teams in the school.

Under the direction of MIC and Director of Football Coaching Luke Gray, boys can experience football in Years K-12.

The aims of the football programme are to:

> Help each boy realise their God given talents by educating them in mind, body and spirit. 

> Provide a range of football opportunities where each boy can discover and develop his skills, talents and aspirations and find his passion and purpose in football and life. 

> Provide a football programme of an excellent standard that has a personalised approach.

Trinity provides an all year round Specialist Programme for boys in Years 3-12 and this compliments their Trinity and elite club commitments. Trinity also provides development opportunities through its football camps in the April/July/September holidays and through tours domestically and overseas. Boys in football have the opportunity to tour the North Coast of NSW, to play at the Kanga Cup in Canberra and train and play games in Europe.

The highest team in the School is the First XI and they have won:

> the CAS Championship in 1975, 1976, 1977, 1981, 1986, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2010 and 2015

TRINITY SECURES THE 2013 BILL TURNER CUP



The Bill Turner Cup squad made history by winning the 2013 Bill Turner Cup and becoming the first CAS/GPS/ISA school to do so. 466 schools and over 6000 players entered the Bill Turner Cup from Queensland, NSW, ACT and Victoria. To win the Bill Turner Cup, Trinity achieved the following:

> Won eight knock out games in a row

> Scored 26 goals while only conceding 4

> Beat a host of selective sports high school teams that comprised state and national players

> Beat former three time winner Bossley Park High School 2-1 away from home after being 1-0 down after five minutes

> Won the Sydney Central Final on TGS No 2 after knocking over former winner The Hills Sports High 3-2

> In the Semi Final Trinity beat last year’s winners Maribyrnong College (a selective high school) from Victoria 3-1

> In the Grand Final, Trinity Beat Cavindash Road State High School (a selective sports high school from Brisbane) 2-0

> Luca Kmet was named ‘Man of the Match’ in the Final and Nicholas Sullivan ‘Player of the Tournament’

This was a fantastic achievement by Trinity and arguably the school’s finest football achievement to date.
