igsa Hockey Competition – Round 3
We had tough matches across the board for all our Hockey teams in round three. We are so proud of all our Pymble Hockey teams this week for their intensity, never give up attitude, and for having belief in their game plans.
All teams are still sitting in good positions in the current standings for their divisions and we look forward to seeing you all back in action on Saturday.
igsa Captain’s Report
Over the weekend, both our Senior First and Junior First teams faced off against PLC Sydney in what proved to be a challenging series of matches.
The Senior First team had their third game of the season bright and early at 8.00am at Sydney Olympic Park. From the moment the whistle blew, it was clear that this was going to be a tough contest. Our backline displayed exceptional strength and resilience, fending off numerous shots on goal, with only one slipping through. Despite our best efforts, we struggled to convert our opportunities during the first half, leaving us down 1 to 0 at halftime.
Determined to turn things around, we regrouped during the break and came out stronger and ready to put up a fight. Our hard work paid off early when we were awarded a penalty stroke, which Bella Croker (Year 11) converted into our equalising goal. For the remainder of the match our defence worked hard to secure the one all draw, successfully defending many short corners. The girls demonstrated excellent teamwork and connection on the field, ultimately securing a well-earned one all draw.
As for our Junior First team, they also took to the field at Sydney Olympic Park, with their match kicking off at 10.00am. Right from the first whistle, the girls showcased their determination, staying strong on the ball and supporting each other throughout the game. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, PLC Sydney managed to break through our defence twice, leading to a 2 to 0 defeat. Whilst the result didn’t go our way, the team’s spirit and effort were impressive.
Both teams demonstrated great resilience and teamwork, with plenty to build on as the season progresses.
