Their improvement was evident in every match, with strong passing combinations, good attacking play, and impressive defensive teamwork. The B team’s season highlights included several exciting draws and hard-earned wins that demonstrated their grit and never-give-up attitude. Miss Thompson noted that the progress made by this group was a credit to their enthusiasm and dedication in training each week. As the season draws to a close, the future looks bright for hockey at Grosvenor Grammar School. With such a strong group of talented and enthusiastic players, many will be aiming to push for places in the senior squads next year. The experiences gained this season from hard-fought wins to lessons learned in defeat have laid an excellent foundation for continued success. Congratulations to all members of the U14A and U14B teams, and a special thank-you to Miss Thompson for her outstanding coaching and dedication. Mrs R Murdock
