Inter-House Hockey Tournament 2016

 

            This year, once again, the brutal matches were played; sticks brandished and mouth guards worn. The first day of the hockey tournament was held at a delayed time due to unfavourable weather conditions. Our first match against Alia was rather disappointing as we lost both the senior and junior matches. Nevertheless both teams picked themselves back up and spent the rest of the day strategising.

            The next day, our strategising proved fruitful as the junior team managed to tie with Jawahir and clinched a win in the match against Naquiah. Congratulations, sweeties! These baby dragons really did give it their all and even though I do not know much about this stick-game I do know that they really hit the balls hard and well.

Likewise, our senior team returned with a vengeance as they beat Jawahir in the match on the second day. There were some startling goals as our dear striker Munira or Moon, lay on the ground to shoot her second consecutive goal. Defence was also very much on point. At the end of the day, Irinah’s junior and senior team placed second for hockey! Good job, y’all!
