Development-focused Ferreira a success

Brentwood A team wins annual field hockey tournament

The annual John Ferreira Memorial field hockey tournament was opened to developing teams this year, with Brentwood College School’s A team taking top spot.

Brentwood also registered a B team in the tournament at the Cowichan Sportsplex on Sept. 28, while Shawnigan Lake School entered a junior B team, and Frances Kelsey Secondary and Quamichan were also represented.

“Most of the games were very close in score and it was great to see the competition and development of the teams over the day,” tournament organizer Perri Espeseth reported.
