Pictured is the Friends’ Prep Girls’ Hockey Team, after the presentation of new playing shirts. The shirts were presented to school by parents Craig Henderson and Keith McDermott for the team to wear at the NI Mini Hockey Finals. The Finals were played on Friday 23 April with the top twenty-four teams from all over NI competing. Friends’ Prep was one of two schools representing the Lisburn area at the competition. The team played extremely well, particularly in the initial stages, winning four matches and drawing one, qualifying them for the McCloy Cup, which is contested by the top twelve schools. In the McCloy Cup competition, the team was knocked out just prior to the semi-final stage by the eventual runners-up, Cookstown PS.
