CULLYBACKEY COLLEGE 0 – SLEMISH 1

The Year 10 Hockey team played the next round of the Ballymena league against rivals’ Slemish on Tuesday 25th October. The girls started off the game really well, with lots of energy and determination. This showed in the game as they spent most of the 1st half in Slemish’s half, constantly attacking and even hitting the post a number of times. Slemish had a few key players who worked hard and kept the ball out of the Slemish net.

The second half of the game showed good skill and but their fitness started lacking. Slemish got one break through our defences and utilised this well by a good goal from one of their key players.

Particular mention must Megan Davidson, Priscilla Kirk and Sarah Smyth as they worked tirelessly in midfield. Abbie Lorimer, Lucy Armstrong and Sophie Clugston played superbly in defence and Levi Greer, Jessica Crawford and Faye Mullan made some super speedy runs up front.

Well done girls!
