Year 8 Boys Hockey 

On Friday, 5th September BHS Year 8 boys took to the field at Koonung Secondary College in the SSV Whitehorse Division round robin. With no players having club hockey experience the day was all about learning more about the game and enjoying playing a new sport with friends. A very satisfying and convincing 4-0 win in the last game against Koonung was just reward for their earlier efforts and a great conclusion to the day. Rohan was like a wall as goal keeper using his feet to great effect, Ryan D and Chilli were solid in defence, while Karl, Josh G, Ninurta and Josh T worked tirelessly in the midfield. Special thanks to Year 10 Sport Coaching student Iggy C who provided the team with great knowledge and advice from his state level hockey expertise.
