WHAT A SEASON

As our results come in for the season, it is clear that KingsWay Sport has punched above their weight in many sports. Well done to all our teams.
We would love to share your achievements this year, not only in results but in character, improvement or working hard from whistle to whistle we want to hear from you. Please send in a team photo and a small blurb to sport@kingsway.school.nz 

1st XI Boys Hockey

Wow what a final. If there was ever a time to chew your nails it was at the Hockey on Wednesday night. Both teams turned up to play and there was not a minute when spectators were not on the edge of their seats. At the end of an hour the score was tied 1-1 which took us into an intense 8 second penalty shoot out. This means the penalty taker has 8 seconds in which to dribble the ball and score whilst being run down by a 6ft, Year 13 opposition Goalkeeper in full kit. There would be very few situations in an adult's life where they would feel the pressure that our penalty takers had to endure last night. From the hundreds on the sideline shouting encouragement to the deathly silence as the next penalty taker stepped up, the atmosphere was electric. Penalties ended in a tie to go to sudden death. First team to miss, loses the game, which is such a hard way to end such a fantastic game. Unfortunately, we could not break through their Goalkeeping wall and we came away with second place. Naturally the boys and Coaches were disappointed but they have no reason to hang their heads after such and amazing season. Well done boys we are very proud of you.🏑🥈
