On 2nd April Our School Hockey team went to Lisnagarvey to compete in the Northern Ireland Hockey Finals.
The girls had to play a total of 5 matches in the first round of the tournament. They drew 1-1 with Strandtown and it was a scoreless draw with Dromore. They upped their game and beat Millington 2-0, next they beat Killinchy 7-0, finally going on to beat Pond Park 3-0.
Due to finishing second in their section they qualified for the cup. After lunch they were given a new section in which they had to play Magheralin and The Spires. Waringstown drew 0-0 with Magheralin but beat The Spires 4-0. Magheralin could only manage a 2-0 victory over The Spires which meant Waringstown were through to the semi-finals.
Victoria were our opponents. It was a closely fought match which ended up 1-1 after full time. The match went on to ‘Golden Goal’ and unfortunately Victoria managed to score first.
The girls were champions in our eyes because they gave their all in every match. Mrs McCollum and Mrs McElhinney were very proud of them all.
