Hockey Tournament

A mild, sunny morning greeted all of the enthusiastic students who were participating in the annual hockey tournament that was held at Milton Primary School on Wednesday 3 July. A large number of teams from St Mary’s, Waiwera South, Waitahuna, Catlins, Lawrence, Waihola, Kaitangita, and Clutha Valley came over to challenge Milton Primary School.  M.P.S had seven teams entered but unfortunately none of them made it into the semis. Some children got hurt in the games (mostly from being accidentally hit by an opponent’s stick), but they kept playing and we all had to work together to get goals and try to stop the other team from scoring. In the end Clutha Valley beat St Mary’s in a thrilling final that went into overtime. We loved having the students from the high school reffing us. It was a long and hard day but we all thought it was definitely a lot of fun!
