Not only did they have to battle freezing cold winds but also to take on teams that were older and in many cases much bigger than them. Playing against teams where the players are not only bigger, stronger and faster but also with players four years older than you is a tough ask for any youngster.

The fact is our teams fought really hard and played some fantastic hockey under what was some very difficult conditions.

All credit to everyone of them and they can be really proud of their achievements. Well done everyone.
