Hockey

U12 BOYS SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIAN HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIPS

What a great experience our Year 6 students Henry Galland and Ollie Croker had as they set off to Cairns to play hockey as members of the NSW team. The boys played 6 games across 4 days in very hot and humid conditions, competing against WA, QLD, SA, ACT, SA and VIC.

The boys played key roles within the team, Henry taking charge of the midfield and directing play, with Ollie leading up front in attack, scoring 10 goals during the week.

The NSW team came away with a silver medal, one to add to the collection from their previous 3 years of being a part of this team.

We are very proud of both boys and wish them all the best in their future hockey endeavours.
