Junior Hockey House Matches and the Regional Competition at Rushmere
Our Junior House matches took place this week in School, and our U16s played at the Regional Hockey competition last week. Find out more about both in our reports from Mrs Rix, Head of Hockey.
Junior House Matches
Year 7 and 8 excelled in their House Matches last week, with some fantastic skills, teamwork, leadership and support on show across the three mini pitches.
Players had to put all they have learned to good use, playing alongside new teammates and friends, to see who can secure the most points for their House.
Congratulations and well done to Annott, who came out champions for both Year 7 and Year 8, while Seckford and Willard came second respectively. Year 7s scored 38 goals in the six games played, while Year 8 scored 44 goals in the afternoon!
Well done to everyone who took part.
U16s at the Regionals
Woodbridge competed admirably at the Regional Hockey competition held last week at Rushmere. A very slow start (delayed due to the pitch conditions) in the first match gave Woodbridge the wake up call they needed, realising they need to step up a level.
The subsequent four pool games saw a different group of players take the pitch, led by Year 11’s Lyrah and Millie. The team worked tireless to defend when not in possession and when in possession attacked with more purpose, passing and structure. A draw, two one-goal defeats and a well-deserved win completed the day’s play.
Lots of growth and learning the value of good decisions and consistency in various disciplines when playing.
Well done to each of the players for the resilience, determination, effort and input to make our team better every game. Player of the Day was Year 10’s Eve.
