1st Team report:

The St Andrew’s College 1st XI hockey side found themselves a goal down early in the game due to a lackluster start to the match against Woodridge. However, St Andrew’s played their way back into the game and improved with each quarter. Their resilience and determination was eventually rewarded with an excellent team goal finished by Mark Ter Morshuizen. Early in the final quarter, Woodridge hit back with another goal, taking the lead once more. The St Andrew’s players dominated play and continually pushed forward, equalizing with just a few minutes to play. Neither team could find the winning goal and the breathtaking match concluded 2-2.
