🏑 PSSA Boys Hockey – Western Semi Final🏑
What a performance from our Parkes Public PSSA Boys Hockey Team today! 💙❤️
The boys travelled to Mudgee to take on Cudgegong Valley Public School in absolutely freezing conditions with drizzly rain throughout the game. But the weather certainly didn’t stop them! 🌧️🥶
The boys came away with an impressive 6-0 victory! They played some fantastic team hockey, moving the ball well, passing to create space and working together beautifully as a team.
A huge thank you to Sienna for travelling with us and umpiring the match. We really appreciate your support!
Thank you to coach Kieren, who also braved the freezing weather to support and coach the boys today. 🏑
And of course, a massive thank you to our wonderful families for making the trip to Mudgee, transporting the boys, cheering them on and doing an amazing job of keeping our subs warm!
This win means our boys are now heading to the Western Final!
