Intermediate Regional Hockey Finals.
Intermediate Regional hockey finals were played on Wednesday 16th October at Plenty Park in Greensborough.
We finished runners up in a tight 2-1 loss.
Through the pool stages we had strong play to knock off last year’s state finalists.
Again the team was well led by Josh Cain and Liam MacMillan.
We had crucial individual goals from Cruz T.
Miles P and Max C played every minute and Benny F saved so many crucial short corners. Chlo W, Darcy K, and Harrison were quick on the wings.
Our Year 10 first timers in Will B, Elliott S, Tom G, Fenita F, Huw W, learned quickly in defensive short corners and improved throughout the day.
In the final, we scored first and then the opposition drag flicked their way to the lead.
For our first entry into hockey for over 5 years it was an excellent result and we look forward to getting two mixed teams up next year.
Well done to all players for training on our cricket pitches for the last 5 weeks.
