Captain of the Our Lady of Fatima team, Katrina de Carvallo said they are aiming to finish higher than their fifth place finish at previous challenges.
“The team’s goal is to put out our best hockey and create special memories as it’s our last time playing all together on the turf. I am confident that our team this year will perform well and finish in a higher position than we have in the past. Our team plays as a unit and every individual on our team connects well with each other on and off the field. These connections off the field help us play to the best of our ability on the field,” she said.
All games will be live streamed on SuperSport Schools.
