Junior House Hockey
Matching up to last year’s brilliant effort in House Hockey, in which we were narrowly defeated in the final against Moredun was not going to be easy. We drew up our best possible team to rise to the challenge and they did not disappoint.
From the start we were under pressure from a strong Moredun side, but we continued to play well through many short corners and shots with good defending from Hugh R and George M however Iain H saved the day with his brilliant keeping, but just before half time they slotted in a goal from a lucky short corner to make it 1-0. It was a huge blow to the team; however we were determined to give it our all.
In the second half we changed our focus to trying to get that goal, however despite some good dribbling from Izzy I, and attempts from Mikey P we could not equalize and the final whistle blew. It was disappointing to be only a shot away from the final, however I could not ask for more from the team, their commitment was epic and they have done us proud.
