This year, like last year, the Senior girls won the North side League. This time it was not as easy. They took on Santa Sabina in the final having beaten them and all the other teams in the league through out the year.

Santa Sabina scored the first goal leaving Mount Temple 1-0 down at half time. It was a tight match but Mount Temple’s Hayley Manning scored the equaliser from a short corner and that made it 1-1 at full time. The match then went to extra time golden goal and after only a few minutes Nicola Taylor scored and they won. It was nerve wrecking match but it was said by a very good hockey coach that ‘this team going down as the best Mount Temple girls team ever’.

They couldn’t have done it without the brilliant supporters and coach Rob, thanks.





Well done to the Senior ‘B’ team for reaching the semi-final in the Leinster league. The girls faced Mount Anville as their opposition. It was a very exciting match from beginning to end.

The girls were unfortunate to be 1-0 down at half time and with an even better second half performance it didn’t seem right that they were 2-o down with nine minutes to go. It was decided to take the goalie off in an effort to pull back the game. This risky decision paid off  as shortly afterwards Ciara Williams slotted in the teams first goal to narrow the margin. The girls kept the pressure up and then seconds before the final whistle blew Elizabeth Grainger scored the levelling goal.

All girls worked extremely hard and gave it there all, managing to keep it level throughout extra time. Then, it came down to penelty flicks. Controversially one of Mount Temple’s flicks was disallowed and it went to sudden death. Unfortunately, the girls were extremely unlucky to lose at this point. Great game was had by all.

With Northside still to play for the girls are determined to win some silver ware this year!

Thanks to all the many supporters who came down to cheer them on!
