DHS vs Northwood results, 28 July 2023

29 July 2023

HOCKEY @ DHS

The DHS 1st hockey team thought they had completed their season at The Coliseum in the second term, but a late change to the schedule saw them defending their unbeaten record at home on Friday evening. Unfortunately for the Horseflies, Northwood played the spoilers and ran out 3-2 winners.

It has been a very strong season for Northwood and Friday’s 1st team result was evidence of the quality of the programme.

The DHS u16A side played with impressive skill and pace to win a hard-fought clash and, with the 1st XI losing only three grade 12s for next season, there is undeniable proof that the coffers remain well stocked at School.

At under-14 level, it has been Northwood that have set the pace in 2023, so DHS would likely have been the more satisfied with the 1-1 draw.
