The First XI excited to take the pitch! by Alena Wafer
Hockey is back!
Mrs A Wafer — June 16, 2020
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!
