Boys' First XI
This week the boys had a well earned win against Long Bay 7 - 0. They started slowly but from half time onwards the team played with width and were able to break down the defence more effectively. Some of the development players played well up front for the team, with some scoring their first goals for the season which was great to see. With one more game before a break for the holidays the team is well placed in 2nd place in Grade 3A.
Girls' First XI
The girls also played Long Bay this week and had a closely fought 2-all draw. Down 2 - 0 at half time, the girls played a much more inspired second half to draw level. Although the Wentworth team controlled possession for much of the second half, they unfortunately could not quite finish off the match with the deciding goal. There was some great play from the team and notable mention must go to Anya Khalid who had a strong game as Goalkeeper.
Boys' Year 7 & 8
Due to the poor weather on Tuesday afternoon all Intermediate hockey was cancelled at North Harbour this week so there is no result for the this team.
