The Final Federation Cup Hockey Tournament for the #1 Daughter is done and dusted.
After the two games on Monday the dye had been cast and the girls were then in the bottom half off the draw - the bottom 8, which was confirmed after a further loss on the Tuesday.
Wednesday's game, against, surprisingly Whangarei GHS, meant that the loser would effectively be relegated from the tournament the following year.
It didn't go well, the Rangitoto girls turned up to play in a very terse, nervous and sombre mood. And this translated to a ponderous and withdrawn match that they lost easily to a very motivated Whangarei team.
Thursday then, nothing to lose and a match against Kristin School, who, ironically are the closest school to Rangitoto College in Auckland. They have "the wood" on them and 1-0 doesn't really do justice to a match that Rangitoto dominated for he large part
And so to a final game, in the pouring rain, and #1 seeding for the Marie Fry tournament next year, and a comprehensive 5-2, smiles and high fives all round.
