In Week 4 we participated in the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Hockey Championships in Newcastle. Three teams Open Boys, Open Girls, and U16 girls were involved.
U16 Girls- Played 5 games. All games were very close- ending with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Thank you to Mrs. Osborne who coached and guided the team.
Open Girls –were also involved in a close competition. Playing in A division the team played 4 games. Finishing with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. The final placing for the girls was 3rd overall. Thank you to Mrs. Czinner for coaching the team.
Open Boys- played 4 games and managed 2 wins and 2 losses. Again the competition was close. We missed a place in the semi finals after an unlucky game on grass. The win we secured was against Catherine McAuley, Grafton 4-2. Grafton were the overall winners of the competition. Thank you to Cody and Harry for coaching and leading the team. Mr. Osborne managed the team and we thank him for his support.
Overall it was a successful trip. All involved had fun and enjoyed the experience.
Other hockey news- Well done to Meg Lye who represented NSW Combined Catholic Colleges in the U16 All Schools trials. Meg played incredibly well and made it to the possible and probable stage of the selection process, which was a considerable achievement.
Lauren Czinner, Talia Constance and Cody McCann have their All Schools trials coming up in Week 9, we wish them well as they represent NSW Combined Catholic Colleges in the Open Division.
Congratulations to Jake McCann and Nathan Czinner for their selection in the NSW All Schools U16 squad. We wish them well at the final selection camp in Week 8.
