Rep Trials

Today I had my second week of Hockey Rep Trials. I thought I did pretty well in the game I was tackling, passing and sprinting my hardest. But today we found out who the 30 people getting in were, we were all waiting nervously hoping to hear our name. I was 1 of the 30 people I was so ecstatic about it! Unfortunately my best friend Codie didn't get in and my friend from my school team Hannah didn't get in either. But I really had fun today!

Yesterday we played against Southwell 3rdX1, this was our first loss ever but it was only 1-0. It was a terrible game but our team picked up in the second half. Player of the day was Claudia for stopping lots of balls and defending well. This game was just a fun game though because we had already played them before. Next week is our big Promotion Relegation game and that means if we win it we get to move up a grade. "Never in Saints history have we gone up a grade." Said the coach.

Rep Trials

Today I had the first day of hockey Waikato Rep Trials, it was really fun! We practiced 2 on 1's and dribbling skills, drags and hits, passing and sweeps. For me the one I liked best and did good in was the dribbling skills.I dribbled through cones and then dragged past a couple of cones and then flicked over another set of cones. I really liked the morning even though it was an early start!

After that I then watched the Waikato U16's play their Tri Series against Bay of Plenty it was a really good game to watch with how strong they were and fast! Waikato ended up winning about 4-1 or 5-1 I lost count after a while!! I really enjoyed the day and can't wait til next weeks trials which is when we play a game and get moved around in different positions while the coaches see our strengths and weaknesses it will be fun!

GO WAIKATO!

On Friday our team did really well all of the team had a good game. We did good passes and scoring goals! The turf was really wet so it made the ball harder to travel and pass. Finally our score was 4-0 to us which was a good end result! Player of the day went to Hannah she had a really great game and scored one of the goals!!

:] Our team is now top of the table in the C Grade which is cool! :]

First Post

Well this is my first post on blogger, each week I will be posting stuff on my hockey results!

So starting the list off last week we played St Peters and won 4-1 but all over our playing wasn't that great the coach thought of it as "ping-pong." I have to agree though because we did play really sloppy but yet again we still won which was sort of a bonus.
