After winning their championship last month, Warkworth Hockey Club’s women’s team took home a second trophy in their first season.
The team beat East Coast Bays in the D3 division at the Harbour Hockey finals day on August 24.
The Warkworth women exhibited total control over the field. The score was 2-0 at half time and 4-0 at the final whistle.
Meanwhile, the Warkworth men’s team played an incredible high tempo match against Takapuna that was a nailbiter to the end.
Despite several near scores by Warkworth in the last 15 minutes of the game, the teams were drawn at 0-0, and the game came down to a shootout tie-breaker.
Five players from both teams took a turn at besting the goalkeeper. Takapuna scored two goals to Warkworth’s one.
Club spokesperson Graham Buchs says it was a great first season for the men’s team and they will come out next year stronger and more determined.
Mahurangi Hockey Club’s women’s team also played in the finals and narrowly missed out, beaten by East Coast Bays 3-2.
