St Paul's 1st XI hockey team played Strathallen for the semi-final of the Midlands Intercity Hockey Competition. The boys started off in marvellous fashion, moving the ball with speed and accuracy to quickly be up 4 nil within the first 15 minutes. St Paul's continued to dominate for the remainder of the half, however less clinical play saw us go into half time only 5 nil up.
The second half was much the same as the first, with St Paul's playing some superb hockey for passages of the game and continued to dominate the match. All the boys played well and the team looks to have made some significant improvement over the past month. This will be put to the test next Wednesday in the final of the regional competition as the boy’s face tough rivals, Hamilton Boys’ High School.
Goals were scored by: Daniel Scanlon (3), Alec Wilson (2), Aakaash Chimanal (2), Max Wydham-Smith (1), Sam Holmes (1), Joel Kosoof (1).
Final score was 10 nil to St Paul’s.
