Bronze Medal for U13 Panthers
The U13 Panthers came away with a Bronze medal at the 2015 U13 Festival held in Nottingham.
Having won all their group games, West Scotland Cubs 8-0, North East 2-1, and South Wales 7-0 and 4-0, they came up against Tensworth, North West, in the Semi Final. In a gripping first half it was end to end hockey and 0-0 at half time. But 10 minutes into the 2nd half Tensworth scored, the boys couldn’t recover and eventually went down 4-0.
So to the 3rd/4th playoff, once again against North East. The quality of the hockey both teams played defied belief for such young players. At 1-1, with 5 minutes to go, penalty shuffles loomed, but Niklas Siebold, picked up a through ball, turned and smashed a reverse stick shot into the bottom corner. The boys and coaches were delighted to come home with a bronze medal.

The U13 winning Panthers team from 2011, the Panthers won all their group games, beat the North East in the semi final on penalty strokes, then beating Ireland 2-1 in the final.
