Higher Hockey Match

On Wednesday 3rd October the two Higher PE classes took to the hockey indoor facility to play against each other after 8 weeks of training. Both teams came on enthusiastic and eager to beat their opponents. Gemma Hughes showed some wonderful defence for 5B and with Alistair Paton always there for backup they proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Dylan Thirtle and Connor Strang of 5E showed strong attacking skills up front and managed to score 2 goals in the first half. Unfortunately 5B’s attacking skills proved to be too much as Ryan Brown and Michael Harvey put 6 goals past their opposition in the first half. After a 3 minute break and a team talk, both teams returned feeling refreshed and ready to score more goals. 5E came back quickly scoring 3 more goals, with Derek Brown and Andrew Paton preventing more of 5B’s attacks. With Lauren Toner and Lyle Wares always on the wing for backup, 5B responded by scoring another 7 goals, several scored by Bradley Kirkwood. Robbie Ogilvie and Varri Murdoch put in a strong performance but it was all over for 5E in the last minute with 5B beating 5E 12-5. The two teams will play each other at badminton in November where 5E will be hoping to claim back the victory. Well done to everyone who took part.
