Bromley High School’s 1st XI Hockey Team added a national title to a season in which they have won the Kent County Championships and the Trust Championships.
At the Hockey Centre in Nottingham, the team powered through the groups stages without conceding a goal beating Worksop College 3-0, Austin Friars 5-0 and Notting Hill and Ealing High School 1-0.
In a nail-biting final, the team conceded its first goal to Hill House School, drawing level with a shirt from Sasha (Upper Sixth) as she lay prone in the D. With 30 seconds remaining, a short corner was slotted home by Louise (Year 11).
It has been a spectacular season for the 1st XI team who have won 25 of their 29 matches, scoring 78 goals and conceding only 13; An outstanding team performance.
Their achievement is also featured on the England Hockey website.
Congratulations to all the girls and their coach Mr Evans.
“The team worked so well together in this tournament, as well as in all the other matches and tournaments that got us here. Our dedication in the game and our loyalty and trust in each other, is why we play so well and are so successful. Every player had an important role to play on the day, and in the end our team became the first National Hockey winners in the history of Bromley High School.”Alice, 1stXl Hockey Captain
