U12 Hockey Regional Championships

27th March 2019

After winning the Surrey Competition earlier this month, the U12 Girls Hockey Team travelled to Woking Hockey Club on Tuesday for their Regional Competition.

With 7 tough teams in the group, the girls faced a difficult 6 games in an attempt to qualify for the final four.

A tough opening fixture of the day against St George’s ended in a well-deserved draw before wins against The Abbey (1-0) and Headington (3-0). After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Tiffin, the girls responded brilliantly to beat Sir William Borlase 1-0 and St Benedicts’ 2-1 to secure second place in the group and a place in the final four in the Region.

In the semi-final, a well contested game ended 0-0 at the end of normal time, leading straight to penalty strokes. With both sides level at 2-2, consecutive rounds of sudden death penalties finally handed the victory to Alleyn’s, winners of Group A, with barely anything to split the two teams.

With the other semi-final also going to penalties, Danes Hill faced a talented Surbiton High team in the 3rd/4th Playoff.

An end-to-end battle saw both teams give their all in a high quality game. A fantastic finish from Danes Hill resulted in a 2-1 win as the girls secured Bronze medals and 3rd place in the South.

Congratulations to all of the girls on a really fantastic season!
