Well done to the Senior Hockey team who beat Newbridge College this week and will progress to the next round of the Cup. The game finished 1-1 in normal time and Rathdown’s goal scorer was captain Alison Berkeley. It was a good performance by the girls which saw Newbridge goal keeper keep out numerous chances. The game went straight to penalty shuttles. Well done to Tessa May, Ciara Langtry, Lily Llyod, Alison Berkeley and Rachel Eggers who comfortably slotted their shots along with the fantastic performance in goal by Lucy Maule.

The girls go on to the next round to play High school after the Christmas break.
