The school hockey teams had a great time at Regent House last week, taking part in the qualifiers for the Pearson/McCloy Cup competitions.
The boys played on Thursday and were in a tough group with Carrickmannon, Towerview and Dundonald. They played well; drawing two matches and losing a third. Unfortunately they did not progress out of the group but they did win their consolation game against Crawfordsburn with Caleb scoring the only goal of the match!
The girls played on Friday and were up against Towerview, Academy and Comber. They started well with a 2-0 victory over Towerview, with our hockey captain Selena scoring both goals. The second match was a tough game but unfortunately a strong Acadmey side had too much and the girls lost 2-0. The final group game was against Comber, with the girls rallying following their previous game to run out 4-1 winners - the goals coming from Selena (x2) and Eva (x2)!
The girls finished second in their group which got them through to the quarter finals were they played Rathmore. This was a very close game but unfortunately for Holywood, Rathmore scored with almost the last hit of the match.
Well done to all the pupils involved!
(A special mention to Betty who volunteered to play goalkeeper for the girls despite never playing in nets before!)
