Introducing ~~~~~~




















Our U/7 Yellow team showed up in full force at Rasey Park on the weekend. Our opposition was a team that ran all over us last year (so I’m told) so we knew we would be in for a hard fight.

The game started off in brilliant fashion.  Within the first few moments we had scored our first goal. Then, a few moments later we scored another, then another and another. Before we knew it we had scored 9 goals, and only given away 2.

Our little babies had won their first game of the
season!  The joy on the faces of those little 5, 6 and 7 year olds was priceless.  Each and every goal they scored they cheered like it could be their last. The coach even had a few little cheers (before realising it could be considered bad sportsmanship!!!).  I have never seen little people jump so high into the sky. They were all so proud of their achievements, and so was I.

Our team consists of –
Mickey - our goal scoring specialist who never fails to deliver.
Maya – our ever-reliable defender who has shown some unbelievable talent in only her first year of hockey
Lily – The quickest little whizz whom ever graced the hockey field.
Maddie – With her strong pushes and amazing ability, watch out for Maddie next year U/9s
Sophie – With her dogged determination, no attacker will get past Sophie
Holly – After scoring her first goal EVER in hockey last week, she backed it up and scored again this week. Great job.
Clancy – Definitely our rose between the thorns (sorry girls). Clancy’s tackling ability leaves others in his wake.
Roisin – Our quiet little timid forward who scored multiple goals in one game a few weeks back. A superb effort.
Brooklyn – Has shown some fantastic potential in her first year with the stick. Watch out for her long legs sprinting up the centre with the ball stuck to her stick.
