Hockey teams achieve success in A grade competitions

Posted on August 24, 2022

Three Macleans College hockey teams recently achieved medal placings in their respective A grade competition.

They were:

1st XI Boys’

The 1st XI Boys’ played in the Greater Auckland A1 Competition, and placed third after a hard fought bronze medal match against Pukekohe High School which was a draw at full time so went to shoot outs. A notable effort by George Cui (Batten House) in goal who saved all of the opponents attempts.

U15 Boys’

The U15 Boys’ played in the U15A competition and placed first. A close semi-final which was 2-2 at full time, then went on to penalty strokes. The Macleans College players came away with the win and progressed into the final against St Kentigern College. This was another very tight game with a final score of 2 all.

U15 Red Girls’

The U15 Red Girls’ played in the U15A competition and placed second. They finished the final round robin of the season with a 1-nil win against Epsom Girls’ Grammar School to secure second place. This is an outstanding result with only two losses over the whole season – a huge improvement on last year.
