Greenbottles vs Kingston/Lucindale – Under 16

With new uniforms Greens U16s came out looking like professional hockey players.

Great teamwork from Greens Callum, Tillie and Hannah, working the ball forward. Captain Henry Boord leading the team with words of encouragement and direction.

A great game to watch between these two teams.
