Congratulations to our 1st XI Hockey team who have won the Federation Cup for the first time since 2009, and only the third time in history.
The Federation Cup & Marie Fry Trophy is played every year as part of Winter Tournament Week, and is the Tier 1 & 2 Tournament for the top 32 1st XI hockey teams in NZ.
Not only did they triumph, the team played the whole tournament without conceding a single goal. The final game against St Cuthbert’s, the defending champions, was tense and exciting. The score was locked at 0-0 with four-minutes left to play. Liv Barker scored, and then Sara Revell scored from a penalty corner in the final 30-seconds of the game; the final score was 2-0 to Dio.
Congratulations to the players, captains, coaches, team management, and the Dio Hockey programme!
