Armed with their hockey sticks and gum shields, the team proudly represented Hilldene Primary, facing 23 other schools from around the borough. Initially, the tournament began on a league basis, with Hilldene playing 5 matches against the opposing teams in their league.
Despite valiant and skilful play, unfortunately the team were not in the top two teams who progressed to the quarter finals; however, they were able to taste victory in the play offs for third place in their league- winning 2-1!
The team played very well in their first hockey competition, winning 2 games, drawing 2 games and losing 2 games. All the children thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and were a credit to the school.
Thank you to everyone who took part and to Miss Whitham for her fabulous coaching!
