Quicksticks Hockey Finals
Finals night
Move More Quicksticks Hockey Championships - Finals Night - Monday, 18th March 2019
Finals night followed on one week after the first round and the team could not wait to get stuck in to playing competitive Quicksticks again. The teams were placed into groups depending on their success during the first event. Our team was happily placed in group B alongside Charlton Kings Junior School, Prestbury and Rowanfield. During their first match, the Tirlebrook team lost 3-0 to Charlton Kings. However, our team saw it as a perfect learning opportunity rather than dwelling on a tricky defeat. They congratulated the opposition, said their three cheers and prepared for match number two. The second game was more successful as they managed to win by a scoreline of 2-0 against Prestbury. Their attacking was brilliant but in particular the defence was on fire! Every team player demonstrated fantastic defensive skills and showed no fear as they went in for each block or tackle. In the final match against Rowanfield, the team stormed to victory with a 4-0 win. Matthew wiggled his way through their defence to score most of our goals in this game with our strong defence ensuring that the ball stayed in our attacking half. Every single player finished the event with a huge smile on their face and a new passion for hockey. They were so disappointed that the competition had came to a close. However, before we could leave and hang up our sticks, the team gathered with all of the other schools to say well done to each other, say thank you to the staff and parents who had attended and to reward School Games bands to those children who had been recognised by the staff or umpires during both events. Congratulations to Rose for achieving a 'Self-Belief' band. She was a superb captain throughout the competition. Well done to all of our players. You really did impress everyone watching and we are very proud of you. You put your skills to the test, showed consistently positive and determined attitudes and most importantly, respect to all.
Squad: Rose C-O (captain), William B, Owen B, Matthew F, Gracie J, Charlotte P, Joshua S & Finlay W
