BOYS’ HOCKEY
1st XI
P15 / W7 / D2 / L6
The first half of the season saw the boys
off to a strong start with a hard fought
win against Ashville, Yarm were too
strong on the day, Hymers was snow
bound, St Peters 2nd XI were blown
away as we dominated throughout,
against Ampleforth we were found
wanting and Yarm we couldn’t close
the game out!
2nd XI
P6 / W0 / D3 / L3
It has been a thoroughly enjoyable
season for the 2nd XI. The team has
been well-led by Will Heywood who has
consistently demonstrated an energy
and determination in defence (and he
has set the bar very high in terms of
the provision of half time drinks and
snacks for team). There have been
some excellent results; a hard fought
draw against Peters, and confident,
resilient performances against Yarm

We have been indebted to Hamish
Broadbent’s leadership for a second
and Ashville have exemplified the spirit
of the season.
Dan Laing has been a long-serving
stalwart of the 2nd XI and, although he
didn’t match his scoring achievements
of last year, he has lost none of his pace
and endeavour down the left hand
side. It has been great to welcome
new members to the squad - not
least late-comer Alejandro Cortes,
whose unorthodox style and direct,
attacking forays into the ‘D’ have
bemused opposition defenders on
many occasions.
Lower Sixth and Fifth form players
have also really made their mark and
they will no doubt play a significant part
in the future of Senior Hockey.
We are already looking forward to next
year which promises much from the
progress made this season. Well done
all - tremendous fun.
