School sport Australia 12 Years and Under Australian Hockey Championships Hockey Stars

Last week Henry Galland and Ollie Croker of Year 5 travelled to Hobart to play for NSW at the School Sport Australia Australian Hockey Championships. The tournament went for 5 days, with 2 games each day and a rest day in the middle of the week.

Henry played in the midfield and was an absolute powerhouse in defence and attack. His ability to read the play and distribute the ball was well beyond his years. Very rarely did an opponent get past the safe tackling of Henry!

Ollie played an aggressive striker up front and was constantly putting the defence under immense pressure. His role on short corners was deflecting, and he scored a brilliant goal off a superbly timed deflection.

Both of the boys were awarded with player of the match awards, which is an excellent accolade for students in Year 5. They played with passion, with determination and in the spirit of the game. They represented our school and wider community with great pride and were amazing ambassadors for us.

The boys enjoyed touring the sights of Hobart with a trip to Mount Wellington, Cascades Brewery and Salamanca Markets just to name a few. They even managed to squeeze in a dinner with Mr and Mrs Lowe, who were also in Hobart.

Well done boys, making a NSW team in any sport is such an honour and we are so very proud of you both.
