On Tuesday 20th January, the boys' U16 hockey team, coached by Nick Lockhart, demonstrated the continued strength of hockey at Felsted by becoming the Essex Champions once again.
In the process, the Y11 team, strengthened by the inclusion of some Y10 boys, played five matches, winning all five. They scored 34 goals and conceded none, highlighting the quality that the team played with.
Starting with the three hardest games, wins against Bancroft’s (5-0), Coopers’ Coburn (7-0) and Chigwell (4-0) placed them in the strongest position possible. Further wins against Alec Hunter (11-0) and Forest (7-0) confirmed the boys as Champions again. The next round will be played on the 3rd February in Ipswich.
