Boys Hockey
Dundee High School had their first league game of the 2017 season. For the first team it was tough and the team really wanted to make amends for losing against St Dominics in the finals of the pre-season tournament. It was not to be that St Dominics outplayed and out planned DHS, they scored two goals and DHS boys could just not penetrate their defence. After a hard game of four quarters, DHS could not score one goal. Well done on your perseverance boys!
DHS ‘s second team won their game 1-0 against St Dominics’ second. The school is proud of the way the guys stood their ground. Thank you also to Marelie Kelbrick for coaching them.
