U15 HockeyCounty Tournament

Written by Alice Whelan

On Monday 5th December, the U15 hockey team traveled down the road to University of Westminster Astro to compete in the County Tournament

We were drawn in a pool with Latymer Upper, Ibstock & Streatham and Clapham - all tough apponents First up was a 5-0 win against Latymer Upper followed by a 2-0 win against Ibstock To make it into the finals we needed to finish first in our pool Streatham & Clapham was the last pool match, and after a slow start, the team scored three fantastic goals to win 3-0!

We were into the finals!

We waited patiently to see who we would face in the final, as the other pool still had some games to play In the end, Kingston Grammar School finished top of their pool, so we met them in the final

We gave our all finishing 1-0 up at half time thanks to an excellent hit from Guusje In the second half we tried our best to prevent the other team conceding however an excellent reverse hit from the other team meant we tied At full time it was still 1-1 therefore we had to go to penalty shuffles We needed 5 players to complete penalty shuffles and we chose (Zoe D, Alice, Georgia, Guusje and Olivia B) We ended up losing the penalty shuffles 3-1

The U15 team finished 2nd in the County and this was a wonderful way to finish off the Autumn Term
