The 1st team and an invitational team played in the St Dunstan’s Tournament on Saturday 5 February. The day turned out to be a very busy one, with both teams playing four matches each. The 1st team is going from strength to strength. They are developing into a cohesive unit which is becoming more and more competitive with each outing. Their matches were closely contested, and the team did well to finish in 3rd place. The invitational team was made up of senior, U16 and U15 players. The aim of entering a team of this nature is to provide the players with an opportunity to play against stronger teams, develop both technically and tactically, and gain valuable experience which they will use later in their playing careers. It was a tough day for this group but the players are commended on their “never say die” attitude, their enthusiasm and their positivity. They finished 6th overall.

On Wednesday 9 February, our teams played against St Stithian’s in our local league fixture. Although some matches were shortened owing to the weather, St Mary’s enjoyed a successful afternoon, winning all four matches.

We have one league fixture remaining. We will be playing against St Dunstan’s on Wednesday 23 February. The 1st team also have the Old Petrian’s Tournament to look forward to. This tournament takes place over the half-term weekend and promises to be a very competitive and exciting event for the team.

We wish all our teams well!
