Hockey Success

27th Jun 2017

On Tuesday 20th June, two hockey teams went over to the Showgrounds to play in the Ballymena Area Hockey Tournament. This time the weather was on our side as we enjoyed some glorious heat! The two teams were split up into their groups. Team B played four matches in their group, drawing two and losing two, which were good results considering half of the team were made up of girls who have never played in a tournament before. Team A played 5 matches in their group and got off to a slow start, losing in their first match to Ballymena Primary and then drawing with Carniny. This followed by some great results, where the girls showed off their great skills!! They won the next three matches 3-1 agiast Fourtowns, 5-0 against Braidside B and 1-0 against Camphill. These results then meant that we got through to the semi final where we played the winner of group B, Camphill. We won this match 1-0 which got us through to the final against Ballymena Primary. This was a tough match and both teams played extremely well but unfortunately we lost this match 0-1. A huge congratulations to all of the girls who played and they did the school proud!!
