Our first game was against Lechwe girls and we went on with a lot of confidence. From the beginning of the game, we had begun to take shots at the goal and eventually Diana scored in the first half! We tightened up our defence but the formation of the team wasn’t working as planned and changes were necessary. Shoshanna, the goalkeeper saved many shots coming her way. The defence slacked off and Lechwe managed to score a goal in the last three minutes. We drew that game 1-1.

The second game was against Simba, the home team. The game was off at a good start, and strikers Natalya and Diana took many shots on goal. Eventually Diana scored and we were now in the lead with 1 goal. Defence became stronger and we didn’t let any goals in. we won that game 1-0.
The third game was against Chengelo girls. We had different approach to that game and we had a lot of shots on goal. We had a good attack and even better defence. What made it even better was that we didn’t let any goals in; Shoshanna did an amazing job with saving the shots. Diana and Natalya both had a shot at goal and scored. We ended that game 2-0.

Overall we came 1st out of 4 hockey teams. The effort put in by the girls led them to win the under 19 girls tournament. Great thanks to the girls for the great performance and Mr Grove and Mr Kirk for coaching and advice.
