The Richmond Field Hockey Club was well-represented on B.C. teams that competed at last week’s National Championships in Surrey.
Seven RFHC players or alumni competed in the tournament that took place at Tamanawis Park.
Three RFHC members suited up at the U15 level, including Allie Marsh who helped the B.C Rams cap a dominating week with a 5-0 win over Ontario West in the gold medal game. Meanwhile, Brianna Acevedo helped the B.C. White Lions earn a fourth place finish. Christina MacDonald was a member of the B.C. Royal Lions who ended up in sixth.
Richmond was prominent at the U18 level with Georgia Booker, Dakota Chan and Aish Sander wearing provincial team colours. They helped the B.C. Rams earn a silver medal after losing a hard-fought battle to Ontario West in the final. Earlier the girls defeated the B.C. Stags 3-1 in the semi-final to advance.
Booker and Chan were recognized for their outstanding play by being named to Field Hockey Canada’s Tournament 11 Team.
Finally, RFHC alumni and current UVic player Delaney Booker was a member of the silver-medal winning B.C. Rams that fell to Ontario in the U23 championship game.
