Our Sporty Girl...

Ashlynn decided to join the school’s Year 8 (7th grade) field hockey team, which is part of a Dutch league near the school. The team practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays and has games on Saturdays.

Luckily her first game was nearby so Jimmy and I could cycle over and watch her in action. I was really touched that Sally and Andrew dropped by after his game at a different sports club. I’d never watched hockey before, so I couldn’t judge her ability, but Andrew said that he was a very dedicated player that wasn’t afraid to keep trying.

Unfortunately, her team lost as they did for all but one of their games in the first half of the season. Luckily, Ashlynn keeps a positive attitude and is just happy to play.
