Junior Hockey Results vs Sunridge

Although the girls played well and displayed some lovely skill on the day, in the end, hockey is a game of opportunity as much as it is a game of skill and the Union girls fell short in that they did not capitalise on the opportunities presented.

Sunridge claimed the win with 3 goals to Unionโ€™s 2.

Big pat on the back, however, to all the girls for playing their hearts out โ€“ the grass was a challenging surface to play on, but they ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฑ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ฟ ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜€.

The u/11 girls played their first full-field, 11-a-side hockey match this past Saturday against Sunridge Park. The girls have had to learn new structures and rules in a very short period of time and have done exceptionally well to apply all instructions.
