YOUNG, GIFTED and DANGEROUS


Wellington College Under 15A Hockey team are the school 3rd XI but effectively the 1st XI for players under 15. We play in P3 of the Wellington Secondary Schools Competition. Wellington College currently has eight teams and is the only school in Wellington to have qualified three teams in the premier competition. This means that our team play four college 1st XIs and three college 2nd XIs.

We choose to play as an under 15 side in the open grade to challenge and improve our best emerging players. We aim to play a fast, attractive style of hockey where we pass the ball rapidly and accurately.

We aim to improve over the year, give our best every game, have fun and win. We can't guarantee the fourth of those things but if you come to watch us this season we hope you will definitely see us doing the first two and that you too will do the third.

Points but no prizes

This looked a bit like a team playing it's 6th game in 8 days. We were pretty surprised at the Rongotai starting line up and in the end that was what was going to get us the points. They apologised the next day for fielding an ineligible player and we accept their explanation that an honest mistake was made.

We only really came to life towards the end and Ethan knocked in the equalizer. We pressed for the winner and made several chances but left ourselves a bit exposed at the back.

We have awarded the goals to Ethan, Jayson and Rupert ( 1/2 a goal each) and Tom and Raj (1/2 a goal each).

Match Result - Wellington College U15A 3 - Rongotai 2nd XI 0

Now we approach the business end of the season and need to up our game for the next 4 games including 2 teams who beat us in the grading round and one that we drew with.
