Future stars feature in Junior Hockey Academy event
With outdoor pitches frozen solid an indoor tournament was order of the day for many future indoor stars last Sujnday as Blairgowrie, Dunfermline Carnegie, Grove Menzieshill, Kinross Kobras and Perthshire came to together in Bells Sports Centre to enjoy a tournament hosted by Junior Hockey Academy.
The U-10s kicked the day off where strong defensive tackling and tricky forward skills were on display and resulted in some closely contested matches.
After all 20 matches were completed Junior Hockey Academy Eagles were tied for first place with Kinross Kobras. Blairgowrie were placed third with Junior Hockey Academy Falcons in fourth.
The U-12 event also involved the same teams and was an equally tight contest. End-to-end play, goal-line clearances, midfield tussles and some cracking goals were enjoyed by the many family and friends who came to watch.
The 25, eight minute matches resulted in Dunfermline Carnegie 1 winning the final against Junior Hockey Academy Strikers. Blairgowrie overcame Perthshire 2 to capture third place.
Over 120 children participated in the tournament and special mention must go to 5 young adults who helped with umpiring and organising allowing the event to run smoothly.
