• HOCKEY BLITZ

  Fri 06 Mar 2026

  This week, both hockey teams travelled to Parkhall Integrated College to take part in the Ulster Hockey Blitz. On Wednesday the girls had a fantastic day qualifying for the semi-final, which was decided by tense sudden death ‘run ins’. Our girls won the battle to the final and although narrowly beaten 1-0 by Clough PS, as runners up on the day, they progress to the Ulster Hockey Finals in April.
  On Thursday the boys had just as much a thrilling day, although not the weather. They too reached the final by a semi-final which went to sudden death ‘run ins’. With a scoreless final, it was ‘run ins’ again, and although they were defeated 2-0 by Moorefileds PS, they also progress to Finals Day alongside the girls. All pupils represented APS with great sportsmanship, special thanks to Ulster Hockey for organising a fantastic tournament.
  Girls’ Squad: Poppy Burns, Olivia Cochrane, Maya Jorge, Willow Lynas, Katy McCorry, Madison MrGrugan, Emily O’Boyle, Jessica Van der Merwe
  Boys’ Squad: Jack Connolly, Beau-Ryan Gibson, Benjamin Lee, Thomas Lee, James McClintock, Harry Neeson, Drew Scott
