6-A-Side Hockey Tournament

What do hockey skills, tutus, face paint and funky socks have in common?
In truth, not much really, but they could all be found at Union High Schoolโ€™s AstroTurf yesterday afternoon where a ๐—™๐—จ๐—ก afternoon of 6-A-Side hockey was contested!
All the learners, from Grade 5 through to Grade 12 โ€“ boys and girls – had the opportunity to participate in the tournament.
A total of nine junior teams and nine senior teams entered. The games were played in a round-robin competition format throughout the course of the afternoon.
This proved to be a spectacularly fun afternoon with great participation from learners all-round.
(It was particularly entertaining to watch the educators and coaching staff take to the field.)
