Junior Boys Hockey League
Winners!
On Wednesday 29th March the Junior boys
hockey team successfully overcame the challenge of Sutton Park School in
the final of the Junior Hockey League.
High School took a deserved first half lead when Ciaran Collins scored
directly from a rebounded short corner.
Sutton Park hit back in the second half, clinically converting two short
corners. As the game neared its conclusion Andy Gray scored an
equalising goal to level the game and extra time looked certain.
|
However, Shane Gould got a deflection to
score an over time winner from the last short corner of the game.
The JCT Panel were delighted with their victory and this League Final
win finished off their season in style. Well done!
We also congratulate the Under 14 who beat St Andrew's 4-1 in the league
semi-final and the Seniors who beat St Kilian's 3-2 to finish second in
the league. |
