Participating in the Indoor Hockey League meant that we had matches almost every week against other schools, such as Arundel and Eaglesvale. Although we often faced stiff competition our spirits were never broken. Most notably, we came back from being down 5-1 at half time to beating Heritage 5-6. Unfortunately we were knocked out by a strong Arundel team in a game that was well fought and played in the rain. Our team represented the College at the annual Silver Girls’ Tournament at Arundel School. We came sixth out of twelve participating schools. Four of our players: Alex Hogg, Jess Byrom, Sharai Mpofu and I were selected to represent Mashonaland. I should like to thank all those who helped the team in any way this year. To our coach Mr. Jaure, thank you for believing in us even when we didn’t. To the boys who sacrificed their free time, thank you for your support. To the parents who came to all the games throughout the year, thank you for your unwavering encouragement. To Kelly Wood, my special friend, thank you for all your help. To the beautiful young ladies of the girls Hockey team 2012, thank you for the friendships and memories to last a lifetime.
