Hockey is back!

Mrs A Wafer —

Our first sport to start back up again on Monday saw 50 students wear the dove playing hockey for Columba!

It had been a long time coming but our teams finally took to the turf on Monday afternoon after a couple of weeks of training.

The First XI, with five new players, took on Taieri College in Division One.  Once the nerves settled, Columba pulled away, scoring a range of impressive goals, to win 10-0.  This was a great first-up game to get back into the swing of things!

The Second XI, entered into Division Two, played St Hilda's White in the late game.  This team has a mixture of youth and experience, who worked together to build on their team-play throughout the game.  It was a pleasing start for them as they won 5-0.

This year we have two six-aside teams entered in Division Three.  Our Senior Blue team showed their experience against St Hilda's Blue, winning 8-3 in this fast format.  Our Junior Green team had a very close game with a similar number of chances on goal.  St Hilda's White managed to achieve more goals on target for a narrow win.

This was a great start to the season and we wish our teams all the best of luck next week!
