It was the boys’ turn at the BDO NI North Down hockey festival today. They faced a lot of tough competition but they worked well as a team, played some great hockey and had a wonderful day. Whether they won, drew or lost a game they showed excellent sportsmanship both on and off the pitch and should be very proud of their efforts.
The boys battled through the heavy wind and rain during the first game against Ballyholme. We were all very pleased when the rain cleared and a gorgeous rainbow framed the match. Unfortunately Ballyholme scored early on and despite some excellent attempts at goal, Holywood were unable to equalise. Up next we played Towerview. Communication was strong and we scored two excellent goals. Lucas made some great saves in goals and it was a well deserved win for Holywood. The boys worked incredibly hard during the next match and drew against Abbey Primary. Our defence was strong and the boys managed to protect the goals with some good play. The next game against Grange Park was a tough one but the team worked hard and definitely held their own. Holywood then went on to win their final game against Crawfordsburn. Finn and Matthew worked really well together to score a beautiful goal. What a great way to end the day!
Thank you very much to the parents who helped with lifts and came along to support, it was very much appreciated.
