Senior Boys’ Hockey

The 1st XI Boys’ Hockey team celebrated a well deserved winpicking up the Scottish Schools Senior Boys’ Plate after defeating Robert Gordon’s College in the final in Edinburgh.

The boys were committed to their training sessions ahead of the final clash against their Aberdeen opponents and were in good spirits for the task ahead. After a nervy first few minutes, it wasn’t long before their stick skills allowed the boys to take control of the game with Jamie (S6) outpacing the defence to take the first goal.

Just before half-time Hutchie were awarded a penalty stroke and Johnny (S6) stepped up to calmly slot it into the top corner. Leo (S6) grabbed a goal midway through the second-half before Jamie scored another. Goalkeeper Archie (S5) made a few impressive saves too, blocking all attempts on his goal. The team went from strength to strength, and after an action-packed 70-minutes, they reigned victorious with a final score of 4-0. Congratulations - a tremendous effort and a well-deserved win.

Hockey

Elliot (S5) was selected to play for the Emerging Scotland team against UIster in June. The team managed to win both games on Friday and Saturday to win the series overall.

Elliot played very well and his selection was down to vast hours of hard graft and determination over the past year. Excellent work and hopefully more to come next year!
