Tuesday was a great day as we hosted the Surrey U11 tournament whereby 13 schools came to Notre Dame School.

The tournament ran really smoothly with some very competitive games. Both final and 3rd/4th playoff went down to a penalty stroke competition, where England & Great Britain Olympian Flora Peel was on hand to present the medals.

Thursday was a fixture free day for senior hockey but a great afternoon with Jess coming back in to work with our year 9, 10 and 11 goal keepers whereby we continued to work on their footwork but also how to dive and move on the ground.
U12 County Championships
Today was an early start for our year 7s over at St George’s College for their County Championships. We had a tough start against St Johns and St George’s but with just narrow losses weren’t too disheartened. The girls bounced back with a win against Prior’s Field and close game with Gordons, a win against SWPS and narrow loss to Tormead. Overall the girls finishing 5th and back to school in time for the Christmas Gift Fair.
