The Year 10 Hockey team played their final fixture of the Ballymena league against rivals’ Ballymena Academy on Monday 9th January. This was a closely contested match against the Academy girls with Cullybackey dominating most of the game. Both teams were very determined and the game started off at a fast pace on the astro-turf pitch. The Cullybackey girls were constantly attacking and making good attacking passes, which lead to Levi Greer putting the ball through the Academy defence. Cullybackey went into half time in the lead 1-0.
The second half of the game continued with good skill and fitness from the girls. Ballymena got a break through the Cullybackey defence and equalised in the last three minutes of the game. A super game played by both sides. Particular mention must go to Cullybackey’s player of the match Sophie Clugston.
Well done girls!
