Hockey

Term 3 in 2021 was one of renewed hope for sport with inter school fixtures being allowed again. Even though no spectators were allowed, the boys were eager and excited for what lay ahead.

Having not played any school hockey fixtures for just under two years, there was no pressure placed on either boys or coaches regarding results. The aim was to compete, renew boys love for the game, and most importantly, boys to have fun.

Even though attendance at after school practices wasn’t compulsory, the continued turn out across the grades was excellent, allowing coaches to develop boys in both understanding and application.

Grades 1 and 2 didn’t have fixtures but seeing 120 boys on the Astro at the same time on a Wednesday afternoon was phenomenal. I’m not sure who enjoyed these practices more, the boys or the coaches.

We had 133 fixtures planned against four schools – Pridwin, St Benedict’s, CBC and St Stithians. Unfortunately, the Saturday fixtures against CBC were cancelled due to unusual early morning storms. Apart from that, the whole hockey section across the five age groups was extremely competitive.

Overall, the season was a huge success, with everyone involved clearly loving the experience.

I’m looking forward to seeing how all the boys continue to progress over the next couple of years.
