From Sally Velvin...
We had a brilliant day on Tuesday 20th September at the Year 5/6 zone hockey tournament. It was held at Fraser Park aka freezer park!! Surprisingly the weather wasn't bad and the kids had a ball. We had 8 girls and 8 boys, who were all full of energy, representing Muritai. I was so impressed with their excellent sportsmanship and ability to pull together as a team, having had only one small practise and only a few who had actually played hockey before.
The girls (Muritai Firebirds) managed to win most of their games and come 2nd over all. They all supported each other and it was great to see them improve each game they played. The boys (Muritai Titans) played with such enthusiasm and worked so well together as a team. Their last game was a highlight with the boys climbing back from being 2-0 down against Waterloo School to scoring 2 goals towards the end to make it a draw.
We were fortunate to have such a lovely group of parents who came along to support and help supervise the children. Everyone had a very enjoyable morning and I'm hoping we now have some new hockey enthusiasts to make up a Muritai/Eastbourne team for next winter!!!
