We are delighted to have two First year hockey teams this year, the Jets and the Saints! The teams are so enthusiastic at training and have shown a fantastic advancement in their skill and knowledge of hockey throughout this year. The First year teams entered the Northside League with great anticipation and excitement at playing their first matches representing St Mary’s. They won matches against Mt. Sackville and Cabra and reached the Northside League Final. Unfortunately they were narrowly beaten by St. Wolstan’s in the Final after extra time and finally a nail-biting penalty shoot-out! This was a great experience for their first year. The girls played an excellent game, however, unfortunately it was not their day this year. Congratulations to them on getting to the Final and they are now even more determined for next year.
Well done to all our goalies this year, who made some outstanding saves, almost like Inspector Gadget!!
The achievements of the school this year are a huge credit to all involved and have without doubt inspired and encouraged the uptake of hockey in the school for the future. The winning team enjoyed a well deserved celebration! The St Mary’s girls certainly do have a passion for hockey! We highly recommend everyone to come along and join hockey.
First to the ball, last to give up….go St Mary’s!! Onwards and Upwards to next year!!
Ms. Boran, Ms. Maher, Ms. O’Keeffe and Ms. Callan.
