Smith’s Hill High School’s Boys Hockey team drew Moss Vale High in the 3rd round of the State Knockout. Teams from the Southern Highlands are traditionally very strong and Moss Vale was no different.

The game was an incredibly close-fought affair with Moss Vale scoring a goal in the first quarter and then defending grimly, as Smith’s Hill pushed for the equaliser. Everyone played their hearts out and the game was very exciting to watch, due to the even nature of the teams. We had numerous opportunities which were often set up through the good work of our forward line made up of Oliver Bollard, Darcy Campbell and Ben Morrison. Unfortunately, luck wasn’t with us on the day and, no matter how close we got, the ball would just not go into the goal.

Moss Vale managed a second goal very late in the game giving them a 2-0 win. They were probably the marginally better team and deserved the win but, in saying that, our boys did us proud and were excellent ambassadors for the school, playing the game in the right spirit at all times.

Thanks for their service must also go to our Year 12 players, Prathamesh Agalgaonkar, Max Mulhearn, Jason Nguyen and Jiah Pang. They will be hard shoes to fill for next year. Well done to all and roll on 2020!
