Well done to our U16 hockey squad who played a strong Dromore High side today in the Semi finals of the Ulster Hockey U16 High School’s Cup at Mossley Hockey Club.

Dromore started strong and scored in the first 2 minutes. Following with another goal shortly after. After a quick team talk with Ms Oliver and Mrs Hall at quarter time the girls went out and rose to the challenge, playing some lovely hockey.

Unfortunately, despite excellent pressure, especially from Eva Grant and Faith Thompson, Ballyclare weren’t able to score. The final score remained 2-0 to Dromore.

Player of the match was Captain and Goalie Mia Singleton. Special mention must also go to Year 8, 9 and 10 superstars Erin Hoey (8), Ruby McAuley (8), Lexi Fellows (9), Ruby Lewis (9) and Ivy McFall (10).

We wish finalists Dromore High and Kilkeel High luck in the final next Wednesday.
