Bush Men’s Division 3 Hockey team finished top of the table in pool play, claiming the most points trophy for the fourth year running.
The team’s achievement rounded out another great season for Bush Senior Hockey, culminating in the prizegiving held on August 24.
The men’s team took on Levin in the final on August 17, going in with something to prove after losing to the team in the 2023 season.
It was a hard-fought game, with Logan and Todd Mchardy setting the pace getting a goal each in the first half, with Korey Broughton scoring the third goal and securing the win 3-0.
The prizegiving was held at Bush Multisport Trust Lounge and a great evening was had by all, celebrating the 2024 season successes.
A big thank you to the Bush Hockey Committee for organising and to Tararua College, who put together the lovely meal.
We look forward to seeing you all back next year.
