Senior Girls Field Hockey

The Senior Girls Field Hockey team took another step closer in their efforts to qualify for the Provincial Championships this weekend in Duncan.

Shawnigan was amongst five teams who played in the Vancouver Island Field Championships and managed a third place finish behind Lambrick Park and GlenLyon Norfolk House both of Victoria.

Shawnigan struggled to score goals in key games despite having numerous opportunities. As a young team with seven grade 10’s in the starting lineup, panic seemed to set in when scoring chances arose. However, as the tournament progressed their play improved significantly and they lost a close one to the tournament winners Lambrick Park 1-0. The game could have gone either way but finding the back of the net again proved a challenge. Shawnigan moves on as the Wildcat team in a three- way challenge in the Fraser Valley Wednesday. Should they be successful, it’s on to the Provincials!
