House Hockey 2021 This year’s annual house hockey was played on the 6th of November was one of the best ones yet. All houses participated in either the junior or senior hockey with a mixture of year groups being in each team. Every seven person team played each other in twelve minute matches one way. For the seniors the final was between Blackwater and Nugent and for the juniors it was between Nugent and Watt. Both matches were brilliant from a spectator’s point of view with some great goals and skills being shown. In the juniors’ final, Watt took the victory over Nugent after playing some great hockey. For the seniors it was a very close contest which ended in a draw between Nugent and Blackwater, so to decide the champion they went on goal difference which meant that Nugent took the victory.
A big thank you and well done to all the girls who participated. The high standard of hockey played made it a great event and an encouraging one for oncoming matches. Also a huge thank you to all staff who gave up their Saturdays to either come and umpire the matches or just to support and cheer on their houses. It was so lovely to have so many supports and the girls playing will have really appreciated it.
It was so lovely to see so many girls who weren't playing in the hockey come and support their houses in their free time on Saturday. A special shout out to School House for some great banners!
