The SASI Men’s Football Team along with new SASI Coach Tony Vidmar was in Canberra last week to participate in the annual Institute Challenge.  The SASI team was crowned 2010 FFA State Institute Challenge Champions at the conclusion of the tournament.
The FFA Technical Committee awarded SASI an additional 5 bonus points for the quality of their play being the most in line with the principles of the National Football Curriculum.  In the special last match of the tournament, the SASI team drew 1-1 with the All Star team in a fitting end to the competition.

SASI collected further accolades when midfielder Jacob Melling was named the player of the tournament, striker Jordan Kallios took out the Golden Boot award with five goals and Tony Vidmar collected the Coach of the Tournament Award.
