U11 Hockey Tournament at Bromsgrove School
On Saturday 27 September, the U11 hockey A team travelled to Bromsgrove School for a tournament. After narrowly losing to Bromsgrove School in their fixture last Wednesday, the girls were determined to play their best hockey. Their first game was against RGS and they won 2–0. This result put the girls in great spirits for their next match against Bromsgrove School which they also won 2–0. Next were Repton, with the game finishing in a 1–1 draw. Finally, during their last back-to-back game, the girls faced King’s Worcester and lost this game 1–0.
Overall, the team placed 2nd on goal difference and enjoyed a fantastic morning of hockey. The team have made a brilliant start to their U11 hockey season over the past couple of weeks. Thank you to the parents who came to support.
