Robert Hitchams Wins First Inter School Hockey Tournament


This was the first ever outdoor hockey tournament for primary schools in this area. It took place at a great venue - the astro turf pitch at Debenham High School. Five schools entered and all played each other in a round robin format. Each school had a mixed squad of 4 boys & 4 girls. This is a mini version of hockey (with a slightly larger ball) called Quicksticks.
We have been running an after school hockey club this year plus several of our players have been training at Harleston Magpies Hockey Club. Robert Hitchams won all 4 of their games (4-0 v Occold, 6-0 v Debenham, 3-0 v Mellis and 3-0 v Charsfield) to emerge as winner of the tournament. Our team played some great hockey and really enjoyed the event.
