Brodies LLP 2nd XI Hockey Tournament

On Saturday 4th March 2023, we were delighted to host the 22^nd 2^nd XI Hockey Tournament, kindly sponsored by Brodies LLP.

This year, 11 schools from across Scotland competed:

• High School of Dundee,
• George Heriot's School
• Peebles High School
• Mary Erskine School
• Morrisons Academy
• Edinburgh Academy
• Hutchesons' Grammar School
• Trinity Academy
• Dollar Academy
• George Watsons College
• St George's School Edinburgh

The tournament aims to deliver a competitive all-girls event for 2^nd XI hockey players across Scotland, raising the profile of 2^nd XI hockey in Scotland and providing girls with a like-for-like District/Regional experience. It is the highlight of the season for 2nd XI teams and for many players it is the final hockey match of their school career, a special occasion.

It was lovely to see so many girls and spectators on our campus, enjoying the competitive games and also experiencing a fan favourite- the complimentary bacon rolls.

After the gruelling round robins, George Watsons College, Dollar Academy, George Heriots School and The Mary Erskine's School qualified for the semi-finals. The semi-finals were nail-biting, both ending with running penalties. Well done to George Watsons College and George's Heriots School for making it to the final.

The final was a perfect summary of the day's tournament. It was competitive, showing outstanding hockey skills and a very close game that ended with a sudden death penalty shootout. Congratulations to George Heriots School for winning this years Brodies LLP 2^nd XI Hockey Tournament.

A massive thank you to Brodies LLP for sponsoring this tournament - the highlight of the 2^nd XI calendar!

We hope to see you all again next year!
