U19 Hockey Players become Cheshire Champions

The U19 Hockey squad played in the county finals and emerged as Cheshire champions for the first time in the school’s history.

After negotiating tricky ties against Kings Macclesfield and Lymm High School it was all down to the last game against a Kings Chester team including a player selected to play for the Ladies Welsh Hockey team in the Commonwealth Games. Ericka Morris Adams did a great job of closing her down which allowed our main goal scorers to run at their defence, and sure enough Beth Alexander stuck home for gold.

There was also success further down the age groups with the U12 and U13 girls’ teams becoming Mid Cheshire champions. Not to be outdone, the U13 boys’ team played in the regional round of the National schools cup – it was the first time the have been entered into the championship. They drew their first pool game with a few goal scoring chances missed, but won their next two pool games to play in the final of the plate where they just lost out and were placed runners up.
