Sr. Girls Field Hockey
The SLS field hockey season began with a three day, intensive training camp. The girls pushed themselves to their post-summer limits and we were all excited for the games to begin. Unfortunately, with the spread of the flu, our numbers dwindled and our playing opportunities disappeared. Despite this set back, we continued to practice and develop our skills and we've come out a strong, young team with tremendous potential. This past weekend marked our full return to competition: the team played Collingwood at 11:30 and Brentwood at 2:00. Our first game started off well. Both teams were evenly matched in terms of time spent in each other's end, but Collingwood, a highly skilled senior team, put more goals away. The end score was 0-6. Next, the team played Brentwood, another strong, experienced team. The girls re-grouped and seemed to be gelling more as a team in this game. Although the final score was 1-2, the girls were positive and happy with their play. This week we play two games against Mark Isfeld, an island team from Comox. We won our first game, 7-0, on Tuesday and we travel to Comox to play them again on Thursday.
