Inter-school Hockey - 11th June 2015

This week saw the long-awaited Interschools Hockey Tournament in Albany. It was a slow start for the Wentworth Team as their first opponents arrived late and missed all but the final few minutes of the match. Nevertheless, the Wentworth team managed to score 3 goals in those closing minutes and win. Our team went on to win three out of the next four games, with the remaining game ending in a draw. Unfortunately, due to administrative error, Wentworth was placed in the play-offs for 3rd/4th position whereas, in actual fact, Wentworth had tied in 1st place in their group and should have been in the running for the Grand Final. Nevertheless, with true Wentworth spirit, our team went on to play the best hockey of the day with an outstanding win in their final game of the tournament. With apologies from the organisers and clutching consolation prizes, the players returned to school having shown tremendous skill and teamwork. Congratulations to Lenny Bischoff, Matthew Brabant, Mattias Coutts,Brodie Cruse, Raphael Day, Heidi McAlpine, George O’Driscoll, Maddie Rist and Matthew Rist for an excellent day’s work.
