S3 Girls Cup RoundUp
MIDLAND SCHOOLS DOMINATE AT S3 SEMI FINALS – DOLLAR ACADEMY AND STRATAHLLAN PROGRESS TO THE FINAL
Yesterday saw the S3 School Girls take to Glasgow National Hockey Centre to battle it out for a place in the final.
Following on from Tuesday’s Open Girls tournament, the day repeated the high calibre of hockey from all participants.
The event format ran as 2 pools of 4 with cross over matches to decide on placings.
High School of Glasgow topped Pool A with a 100% record and without conceding a single goal. Close behind them were Strathallan who had recorded a win, a draw and a loss to secure a place in the semi finals.
It was very close at the top of Pool B with George Watsons College and Dollar Academy both finishing on 7 points after winning 2 matches each and drawing 2-2 with each other in a very competitive match. It was however George Watsons who topped the group on goal difference after they recorded an impressive 19 goals for and only 3 against. With Dollar finishing second they would face the undefeated High School of Glasgow in the other semi-final.
Impressive performances from Marr College saw them finish 5th overall with Robert Gordons College claiming 6th place. Galashiels Academy had to overcome a committed Millburn Academy to claim 7th with the Highland team finishing 8th.
The semi-finals saw Dollar Academy end High School of Glasgow’s undefeated run in the competition claiming a narrow 3-2 victory and secure their spot in the final. Strathallan overcame a well organised George Watsons College by 2 goals to nil to make it an all Midland final.
Can Dollar reclaim their title or will Strathallan become the new cup holders? The finals date will be confirmed soon.
