Girls Senior Hockey

 

 The senior girls hockey squad kicked off the month with a memorable performance against Mount Mercy. Although Mount Mercy are a famed girls hockey school the Senior girls almost pulled off a coup. In a tight Cup match Mount Mercy snatched a win as extra time approached on a 2-1 scorline.

They were also in action in their Plate semi-final. They hosted a strong Laurelhill side. The game was a definition of a thriller but no one managed to find the backboard in normal time. The dreaded penalty flicks were to decide this game and a brillant series of saves from Elsbeth Wolfe coupled by steady hands of flick takers, resulted in a heroic victory.  

 They went on to face Scoil Muire in the final. It was a desperately tight feature going all the way to strokes. Unfortunately  Scoil Mhuire emerged victorious 4-2 on strokes.
