The Bendigo Senior Secondary College (BSSC) Lions competed in the School Sport Victoria (SSV) Senior Girls Hockey State Championships on Tuesday 18th August at the Footscray Hockey Club.
The competition is a round robin format with the top team in each pool playing in the final. Matches were two twenty minute halves with three round games for each team.
The day started against Mordialloc College, Mordialloc hit the back of the net early in the first half. The ball was in our half of the field for majority of the second half with a goal late in the game to manage a 1-1 draw.
The second game was the hardest for the day with Melbourne Girls College having some solid and consistent players in the team. Melbourne scored in the first half with the remainder of the game being toughly contested by both teams.
Ballarat High School were the last match of the day with Zoe Ross and Macey Giddings scoring a goal each while Zoe Di Camillo scored 2 goals. The Lions came away with a 4-0 win.
The team finished second in their pool which is a great effort. A huge thank you to Dan Gibbons for coaching.
