Hockey

It has been great to see hockey continue to grow in numbers this year with players returning to play and new players enticed to be part of this quick-paced sport.
We have had three mixed teams at the Junior Campus and five teams at the Senior Campus (two boys, one mixed and two girls). Many of these players have also competed in the Southland teams for U18, U15 or U13 tournaments.
Mixed teams were formed for multiple interschool exchanges against Wakatipu, Taieri and Oamaru.
It is great to see the dedication from the volunteers on the hockey turf – all the coaches, managers and umpires who have run training sessions, organised teams and games and refereed each week. We really appreciate everything that they have done and the encouragement given.
The 1st XI boys went to Nelson for tournament and finished 4th overall and the girls had their tournament in Invercargill, placing 6th. Both teams are very grateful to those who sponsored and donated items to assist with fundraising.
