Three Macleans College hockey teams recently achieved medal placings in their respective A grade competition with the Under 15 Boys’ team finishing first.
The 1st XI Boys played in the Greater Auckland A1 Competition, and finished third after a hard-fought bronze medal match against Pukekohe High School which was a draw at full-time so went to shoot outs. A notable effort by George Cui (Batten House) in goal who saved all of the opponent’s attempts.
The U15 Boys’ played in the U15A competition and won. Again, it was a close semi-final which was 2-2 at full-time, again going on to penalty strokes.
The Macleans College players came away with the win and progressed into the final against St Kentigern College. This was another very tight game with a final score of 2 all.
The U15 Red Girls’ played in the U15A competition and placed second. They finished the final round robin of the season with a 1-nil win against Epsom Girls’ Grammar School to secure second place.
This is an outstanding result with only two losses over the whole season – a huge improvement on last year.
