Field Hockey

My partner plays field hockey. On Fryday she had her last game in the season. They won 1-0 and she scored the goal. It was so fun. Usually I came with her to see them practise and play. Field Hockey is hard to learn and confusing for the first time you watch it. But it is a fun sport. There are 11 players on the field at a time including the goalie. The team has 4 forwards, 3 midfielders and 3 half backs or defense. It is somewhat like soccer with some of the rules but also very different. Friday was the last game for the seniors, the girls who will graduate from high school at the end of the year. The younger girls made a tunnel with their sticks for the seniors to run through as their name was called and they were given flowers. It was very nice. Then there was the varsity game which is the older girls followed by the junior varsity game that is younger girls.
