The 1st X1 had a very enjoyable season; they were a very pleasant and enthusiastic team to work with. In the Cup and Plate matches they met two very strong teams in the first rounds, namely Ballymena Academy and Lurgan College. Both were very good matches but we lost both 2-0. The girls gave a good account of themselves in both games with the score at half time being nil all. The goals all came from penalty corners, not from open play.
2A XI

Vice Captain: Sarah Doherty
Results: Played: 17 Won: 9 Drew: 3 Lost5
Player of the Year: Lynsey Morrissey

The 2AX1 had a very successful season last year, once again reaching the final stages of the McDowell Cup, where they were narrowly beaten the Quarterfinals by the eventual winners. The girls were a fantastic bunch to work with, always full of enthusiasm and fun, while still managing to play skilful, committed hockey. A thoroughly enjoyable and successful season all round.
U14A
Captain: Debbie McNabb
Vice Captain: Jenna McAllister
Results: Played;23 Won:10, Drew:9, Lost:5
Player of the Year: Keri Humphreys and Leah Irwin
Top Goal Scorer: Jenna McAllister
A very successful season for the U14A’s, reaching the semi-final of the Junior School’s Plate competition. All members of the squad played committed, skilful hockey and were very disappointed to lose the semi-final after extra-time on penalty flicks. They all show great promise for the future.
Louise Logan coached the U14A team this year and was a very popular and enthusiastic lady, well liked and respected by all of her team. She has just retired and we wish her a long and happy retirement.

The second match in which Laura Brown guested for the Schools 1st XI was played between the present 1st XI and past pupils who had played in semi final cup matches. Play was fast and furious with every individual on the pitch committing themselves 100% to every tackle, interception, pass and strike. The final result was 3-2 to the past pupils. The goal scorers for the school 1st XI were Lyndsay Neish and Kathryn Corish and for the past pupils, Erica McMullan (Beggs), Jenny Mayne and Zarah Akilagun. This spectacle of hockey displayed the exceptionally high standard at which the school teams have been playing over the past number of seasons.
