SPORTS REPORT Year 8 County Hockey Tournament

W ell done the Year 8 Hockey team who took part in the County Hockey Tournament last Tuesday and, despite many of the girls feeling under the weather, made it through to the semi finals. The team qualified in the Pool Section with a 1—0 win over Penrice, a 5—0 win over Newquay Treviglas, a 7-0 win over Redruth and a 1-0 loss to Bude. The quarter final saw Lander play Mounts Bay, and with the score still at- 2 2 after extra time, the match went to very nerve wracking sudden death penalties, which Lander won. In the semi-final, Lander once again met Bude, and eventually lost the match 2—0 but played really well and created several opportunities to score.
