Junior Cup Campaign
This year in JCT hockey we had a very successful cup campaign. It began by playing Kings Hospital at home with the school support. After the first half we were down by a goal. After a very good team talk from Niall we went on to score a goal, leaving the game tied, we luckily won on a very intense 1v1s. In the next round we got Mount Anville, after losing 4-0 to them before we were all quite deflated by the news. We played them on a very cold Wednesday and at halftime 1-0 to the mounties the game was called off because of how frozen the pitch was and all the injuries piling up. We got a second chance and now felt more confident that we could win. The re-match was played on a Saturday. An extremely intense game with no score until the last 5 minutes when Ciara scored a fantastic goal.... Next we had Muckross in the semi-final. Another home game and the support was amazing. Muckross scored a questionable goal in the last 5 minutes and won the game.
Senior Hockey Match and Barbeque
This week on Monday we had a busy day to finish the hockey season. During games we participated in the annual girls vs boys 6th year hockey match, for this we dressed up as predators and prey, the younger girls were bunnies and the older girls were the hunters! Unfortunately the boys scored first and threw us all off a lot! Whilst they were celebrating Robyn took the ball and was so close to scoring! With this momentum we scored the next goal making it an exciting 1-1. We were very unlucky as the boys managed to score in the last 10 minutes, it was a very entertaining game.
