The Fiji under-15 girls’ hockey team made an impressive start by securing a victory against the Australia Wanderers, ending the match with a score of 1-0 at the National Hockey turf in Suva. This win marks a promising beginning for the young athletes, showcasing their potential on the international stage.
In other matches from the Wanderers Games, the boys saw mixed results: the Wanderers Goannas faced Fiji, resulting in a 3-1 victory for Fiji, while another boys’ match saw Fiji losing to the Emus with a score of 2-0. The girls also experienced a split, with the Wanderers Goannas triumphing over Fiji 1-0, but Fiji bounced back against the Emus, winning the match 2-1.
A notable incident occurred during the games when heavy rain forced the referees to halt a match with just four minutes remaining due to the conditions rendering the playing surface unplayable. Despite these challenges, the teams are set to continue their matches tomorrow.
This early success for the Fiji under-15 girls’ team not only boosts their confidence but also highlights the growing talent in Fijian hockey. Fans and supporters can look forward to more exciting matches in the days ahead.
