During this year I was honoured to play for the SCT 1 Hockey team in St.Gerards School! The team had different aged players ranging from 2nd year all the way up to 6th year. Our hockey captain was Lara Burke, and the vice captains were Robyn Murray, Laoise Geraghty and Jackie Magee. I played for this team along side two other Trasition year students; Abbie Mc Carthy and Ella Malone. Later on in the year some of the JCT players joined the team. One of them was 2nd year, Ciara Moroney! We started our season off with Brendan Carol as our coach. He how ever sadly left the school/team but I do wish the best for him. Our new coaches were Ms.Scott and Lena Tice (International Irish Hockey Player and past pupil). We worked extra hard all throughout the year both on the hockey pitch and in the gym. Our gym trainer was Sami Dowling. Sami pushed everyone to the max and for that I’m very grateful as I’ve definitely improved my strength and speed performance. Our team got knocked out of the league pretty quick but we managed to make it to the semi-finals of the cup! However we sadly later lost against Mount Annville. I can’t wait to see what happens next year for the hockey team and hopefully we can make it to the finals!
