🏑 What a day for our very young girls’ hockey team! ❤️🖤

Today they took to the field for the first time this season, playing an amazing 7 matches overall! That’s a lot of running for those little legs!

There was plenty of learning along the way, but most importantly, we saw huge improvement from match to match. The girls kept going, kept trying and put everything they had into every game.

Some very tired but very happy hockey players are heading home tonight, along with a few sore feet!

Well done, girls! You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves — we certainly are! 🖤❤️
