Hockey Tournament Success

Ten students took part in a hockey tournament run by the Sports Leaders at Meole Brace. Both teams performed brilliantly, making it into the knockout stages, one in the Cup after winning their group, and the other in the Plate after placing second.

The Cup knockout was a closely fought semi-final, with Harlescott narrowly missing out after the opposition scored in the final five seconds. The Plate team also played exceptionally well, progressing all the way to the final against Greenfields before just missing out on the win.

With only one of the ten students playing hockey for a club outside of school, the level of skill, teamwork, and determination on display was outstanding. Every player should be incredibly proud of their performance and many have now been encouraged to pick up a stick and give hockey a go!
