SENIOR HOCKEY

This season we played three matches, all after Christmas
with mixed results. Our first match was against Loreto
College Navan which we drew 1-1, goal scored by Jodie
Chapman. Our second match was against Mercy College
Navan which we unfortunately lost 0-2.
For our final match we played against Wilson’s Hospital
School 2-0. The first goal of that match was scored by
Hannah McHugh and the second by Ellie Fay-Foran.
On behalf of the whole team we would like to thank Mr.
Lindsay and to say goodbye to all the sixth year players.
Hopefully we will get to play more matches next year.
