Congratulations to the first team on their impressive 6-2 victory! This match was undoubtedly one of the most challenging and physical encounters we have faced this year. St Michaels proved to be very physical and fit ,maintaining relentless pressure throughout the game. Our players had to dig deep and perform with immense determination, which they did.

During the first two chukkas, we dominated the game, scoring goals that alleviated the scoreboard pressure. Our defense was robust, winning every 50/50 ball and imposing our presence on our opponents. However, in the second half, we experienced a loss of focus and appeared unfit and slow at times. This is an area we need to address and improve in the coming weeks.

This match was an excellent preparation for the interschools. Special recognition goes to Sarah Jacobs, Leigh-Ann Murray, Kenza Neill, and Aaminah Steele. I am very proud of my team. Thank you, girls, for giving 110 percent at practices and games. Your dedication to the sport is both admirable and greatly appreciated.
