KEARSNEY College kicked off the game against Northwood School on a strong note at the weekend.
The local team dominated possession and created numerous early chances. Their strikers gelled well with the mid-field players and created numerous chances, but Northwood defended those areas well and managed to keep the scores level.
Northwood took some time to get going and really opened up the game towards the end of the second chukka. Both teams put on a great display of hockey with some really close chances that went both ways.
With the game still at 0 – 0 in the final 15 minutes, it would take something special from either team to take the lead. Kearsney broke the deadlock with a great goal from striker Daniel de Kock. This seemed to be the spark for the hosts as they ran in two more goals, one from the Man of the Match, Kai Hielckert, and the final goal made by Daniel de Kock, his second one of the game.
Other notable performances were made by Campbell Duckworth, who controlled the midfield, and Bryce Wiggett, who controlled Kearsney’s defense.
