HOCKEY
Hockey continues on an exciting journey at Sevenoaks and this year we were delighted to go one step further in the combination of academic and sporting success .
Following previous performances in the Oxford Cambridge Varsity match in 2020 , Orissa Welsh ( OS 2019 ) became Oxford Varsity Captain , meaning our girls ’ 1st XI was invited to play in one of the warm-up matches to the main Varsity game , the match between the captains ’ school teams . It was a wonderful opportunity for so many to be involved in such a prestigious occasion and Sevenoaks 1st XI ( pictured ) put in a fine performance to do Orissa and Grace Annetts ( OS 2019 – also playing for Oxford ) proud . We were also thrilled for Lara Gueorguieva ( OS 2019 ) to be playing for Cambridge . The Varsity match itself was fantastic , with Oxford taking victory this time and Orissa scoring the winning goal and being awarded player of the match .
Another great hockey connection has been current 1st XI Captain , Annabel Cheveley , completing work experience with a former 1st XI captain , Lily Elliott ( OS 2013 ). Lily is an Associate at Freshfields and has no doubt given Annabel a brilliant insight into the legal world .
