Inter-schools' Hockey Tournament Years 5 & 6
Our Years 5/6 hockey players have been training together for a few weeks now but on Thursday they faced their first competitive matches as they participated in the Inter-schools Hockey Tournament at North Harbour Stadium, Albany. Drawn in the extremely tough Boys A League, our team faced a demanding challenge but every single player rose to it, displaying skill and determination at every stage. With each game, our team grew stronger and, by the end of the tournament, were truly a force to be reckoned with. Fierce attacks and lightning breaks for goal were witnessed time and again as our players battled for control of the ball. Our defensive line stood strong against all opposition, intercepting numerous attempts on our goal. We were unfortunate in having goals disallowed in a couple of games, as they had been struck from outside the scoring zone. Although our team did not make the semi-finals in their league, they put in an amazing and dedicated performance and should be proud of themselves. It was a pleasure to watch them play and develop as a team.
