Hockey

 

Hockey is an enjoyable and eventful game to play but it is also challenging and rewarding. Each school in the country which participates in hockey has a 1st XI squad.   A "1st XI squad" simply means the senior and most important team in the school;   Our teams also include First Year A and B hockey teams, U-15 A and B teams and an U-16 A team.  

Each individual team has a different target to meet and every team is involved in leagues or cups.

Sligo Grammar School’s hockey team has been growing from strength to strength during the past few years and we would like to take this opportunity to thank the girls and their coaches for all their hard work and dedication to the various teams. We hope that your spirit and love for the game will very soon win you new trophies to put on display.  Last year our most successful teams were the U15 A and U-15 B.         

This year ,  hockey has  got off to a great start with all our hockey teams  winning many matches. 

 

 

 

 On Friday 26th February our senior team played their semi-final match against Salerno, at the Regional Sports Centre on the Astro turf pitch in Sligo. Many supporters came to watch, which was much appreciated by all the team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Grammar were 2-0 down at half time and managed to get a goal during the second half. In the end 2-1 was a very disappointing defeat for the Grammar. They look forward to improving their skills and to playing many more matches.
