The Year 8 Hockey Team played their first match in the East Antrim League today against Ulidia IC. The young team played really well and had the majority of the possession in the game but unfortunately couldn’t get the ball into the goal! Ulidia capitalised on a free hit out by Ballyclare and ran the ball into the nets to score 1-0. Very unlucky for the Ballyclare girls who never gave up and kept working hard to the final whistle! Well done to all the girls.
