Disocesan School for Girls (DSG) hosted Clarendon High in numerous hockey matches on Saturday 26 May. The sunny weather was perfect for the 18 matches that took place at Webster Astro.

The u14, u11 and u10 teams started the day off with exciting matches against Clarendon. Despite the u11 B team loosing, the rest of the DSG teams walked away with impressive wins. The u16 teams showed immense team effort as all four u16 teams won their respective matches. The u16 A side displayed great skill throughout their game which resulted in their 3-0 victory.

The second team played their hearts out, but they struggled to keep possession of the ball. The final score was 2-0 to Clarendon.
