About Us:
Christ College Brecon has been working with Hockey Wales to host this year’s National Schools Hockey Finals.
The talent on display from all school teams who took part in the tournament was exceptional and it was wonderful to see their team spirit and camaraderie shine through.
Both the boys’ and girls’ U18 teams from Christ College progressed through from regionals to the finals and were delighted to be able to compete at home for their final matches.
The girls’ team was up first, with matches against five other schools in Wales. Having kept a clean sheet all day, with some excellent defence and goalkeeping, it all came down to the final game, where Christ College needed a win in order to become the overall Welsh Champions. With two minutes left in the game, a strike from the top of the circle saw Christ College take the lead and finish off the game in style.
Next up, it was the U18 boys who were competing against three other Welsh school teams in their finals. Their dedication and hard work throughout the season paid off, securing another win for Christ College!
What We’re Really Proud Of:
This remarkable achievement of both the boys and the girls becoming Welsh Champions, is testament to the skill and teamwork of the players and the coaches. Congratulations to everyone involved for a competitive tournament that really showcased outstanding sportsmanship!
