• Boys Hockey NI Qualifiers Winners!!

  Tue 03 Mar 2020

   

  Congratulations to the Boys Hockey team who won the Mid-Ulster Qualifying tournament.

  In the group stage we had to play five matches. Firstly, we beat Hart Memorial 1-0 thanks to a goal by Michael. In our second match we beat Drumgor 4-0 thanks to goals from Michael (2), Peter and Austen. Our third match was against Hardy Memorial, with us winning 3-0 thanks to goals from Austen (2) and Daniel. Our next match ended with a 0-0 draw against Maralin. The last game in our group was against Edenderry Portadown. We ended up winning 2-0 thanks to a brace of goals from Austen.

  These results meant that we topped the group and ended up playing Seagoe in the semi-final. This was a tight game, but eventually we came out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Austen and Daniel.

  In the final we had to play Bocombra. This was our best performance of the day and we ran out convincing 4-0 winners, thanks to a hat-trick from Austen and one goal from Daniel. 

  By winning this tournament the boys have qualified to play in the NI Finals on the 2^nd April. This is the first time in the school’s history that we have won the qualifying tournament. A massive achievement!

  A special mention must also go to Daniel McClughan, who was awarded player of the tournament!

  An excellent day of hockey, were we scored 16 goals, conceded none and remained undefeated!

  Team: Charlie Gault, Jack Hollis, Michael Robinson, Jack Cowan, Daniel McClughan, Austen Gault, Peter Holmes, Dylan McGrath, Alfie Parker and Kacper Staniszewski.

• Girls Hockey

  Wed 05 Feb 2020

   

  On Tuesday 4^th February the girls’ hockey team travelled to Armagh to take part in the Mid Ulster Shield. We played really well from the start and won our first two matches against Hardy (2-0) and Maralin (2-0) with 3 goals from Millie Dowds and 1 from Alex Kerr. Up next was Bocombra in the semi-final. We got a goal after a lovely run up the wing from Sophie Tate and then a tap in from Casey Cousins. Bocombra scored one back, and the match ended 1-1. That meant penalty run ins, and 3 of the girls stepped up to take theirs. Sophie Tate, Alex Kerr and Millie Dowds all did brilliantly, ending 2-2 so then it then went to sudden death penalties. Sophie Tate stepped up again and tapped it in beautifully past the keeper. Next was the final against The Armstrong. This was a brilliant game of hockey and both teams played exceptionally well. Even after full and extra time, it was still 0-0; nothing could come between these teams. Back to penalties again and the girls stepped up and delivered once more; 2-2 on penalties so it went to sudden death again. We unfortunately missed out on one of these, and therefore it was all over. Being the ‘Runners Up’ was a brilliant achievement against 13 other teams, very well done girls! We have lots of league matches and the NI Qualifiers now to look forward to.

  Team; Sophie Tate (captain), Alex Kerr (vice-captain), Eve Adair, Abbie Cherry. Casey Cousins, Millie Dowds, Grace McNeill, Scarlett Shaw, Chelsey Dickson, Sophie Little.
