National Hockey Champions






Two former pupils of Sir Robert Hitcham's have become National Under 16 Hockey Champions this week. Amy and Sarah Brook (who only left SRH 18 months ago) were part of the Harleston Magpies U16 team who triumphed in the National Indor Arena, Birmingham last Sunday.

The competition involved the champions from all regions of England. Magpies were there as East Champions. They had to play matches on Friday and Saturday. The Final match (on Sunday) was filmed by Sky TV and played infront of thousands of people in a huge arena.


For a full report on their incredible achievement follow this ink.
Look out for a report and the East Anglian Daily Times this Saturday.

Below you can watch a video of the presentation ceremony.





There are 5 current and 6 former pupils of SRH playing hockey at Magpies. If anybody else (boys or girls from Year 3 upwards) is interested in getting involved then please speak to Mr Brook. Beginners courses will be starting after Easter. The club runs coaching and teams for boys and girls for Under 9s, U111, U13 and so on.
