For the first time in the schools history our Senior A Hockey Team have won the Leinster Senior League. The team, captained by Sophie Maher and coached by John Pearson, beat Wesley College on sudden death penalty shuttles. Jennifer Rourke scored for Foxrock in the second half before Wesley came back with a goal with only 4 minutes to go. Penalty shuttles after full time would determine the winner. Grace Jones saved Foxrock over and over with Anna Lucey scoring the winner much to the delight of our wonderful supporters. 
Thank you to our brilliant students who were like an extra player on the sidelines cheering the team on. Thank you to our wonderful teachers who welcomed the students back to school for a celebratory reception. Thank you to Hunters Estate Agents for their sponsorship.  Thank you to the parents for their continued support. Thank you to our 6th years who have been committed to hockey since their very first day in Foxrock. Thank you to all those who helped to make it happen and thank you to the team who have been committed from the very first day of the season.
