Both the Wanganui High School first XI teams made it through their Manawatu division 1 secondary school hockey semifinals on Thursday night, but through entirely different methods.
The WHS girls team continued their strong run of form against Horowhenua in Palmerston North, picking up a comfortable 4-1 victory.
Goal scorers where Meghan Price, Emma Rainey, Rebecca Baker, and Kate Belsham.
However, the boys home derby at the Collegiate hockey turf was a real thriller, WHS getting home 3-2 after the second stage of extra time.
After the scorelines were deadlocked 2-2 at the end of regulation, the match went to golden goal with the teams each dropping off one player periodically.
