North Harbour Intermediate Hockey Zone Days

Last week we had two amazing days at the National Hockey Centre for the North Harbour Intermediate Zone Days.

On Wednesday our boys team attended and played some amazing hockey. They finished 2nd in their pool behind the overall winner Northcross, and narrowly missed out on a semi final spot as these were worked out on goal average.

In the play-off for 5th and 6th they had a tight match, but went down 2-1 to finish 6th overall.

Special thanks to Angela Simmons for all her time coaching the team and to Pete Saunders for managing the team. A very special mention and thanks to Zac Simmons for being our umpire for the day and having the opportunity of umpiring the final.

On Thursday it was the girls' turn.

Congratulations to our girls team on a fantastic day of hockey finishing 7th overall. We started the day with a great win against Glenfield, and then had 2 tough games which resulted in tight losses. Our final game for the day was against Pinehurst, with lots of goals being scored and the game ending in a 3-all draw.

Well done girls, we look forward to watching you continue to grow and play some amazing hockey.

A big thank you to Miss Goslin for her time and patience with coaching, and special thanks to Charlotte Searle for being our umpire for the day. We really appreciate it.
