Well done to the Lochardil Hockey Team who took part in the tournament on Saturday.

See the message from Mrs Campbell below:

The hockey team played really well on Saturday at the hockey tournament. They finished 5th out of the 12 teams that were competing, in extremely cold conditions. They played 6 games of a straight 12 minutes and had 2 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss. We did have to “borrow” two girls, Alisha from Cauldeen and Katrina from the Inverness Hockey Club as we had no girls able to play, and the rules require two girls to be on the pitch during all games.

This term, a group of P6/7 have been going to Hockey Club after school with Mrs Campbell on a Tuesday.

On Saturday they played their first tournament- and didn’t they play well!

The Tigers fought hard but were up against some stiff competition. The Cougars played exceptionally well- winning 2 games and drawing in 2 games in the first round which put them first in their section, and qualified them to play in the play offs for the cup. They won 1 game and lost 1 game which made them 2nd overall in the whole competition. The team got the runner up medals which is an excellent achievement.

This is an excellent result for their first tournament! Keep up the good work whilst representing Lochardil!
