Regional Hockey

On Monday, 14th August, the Wembley mixed hockey team competed at the Regional gala against teams from Geelong, Carolyn Springs and Williamstown. Our players performed amazingly well, winning all three group games. During the tournament, we showed great teamwork and respect for the opposition. The organiser of the event even congratulated Wembley on showing fair play throughout the day.

In the Grand Final, we competed against Williamstown and had a fantastic game. It was a nail biter with the result decided in extra time with a golden goal scored by Williamstown. To finish runners up at Regional is an incredible achievement, and all players should be proud of the effort and resilience they showed.
