U14s Nationals 2019
Posted by on 17 May 2019
The Frederick Cooper U14 boys and SCC UK U14 girls were both at Reading HC last weekend as one of the top eight teams in the country who had qualified for the England Hockey Tier 1 Nationals.
The boys had an amazing day with close pool games against Winchester (2-1), Surbiton (0-1) and Norwich (3-3) before storming to victory in the 3rd/4th play off against Bowdon (3-0) to take the bronze medal! Read the team match report online at :
U14 Boys Nationals Match Report
Thank you to coaches Simon, Jonesy and team manager Sam for all their efforts over the season and we are looking forward to exciting times ahead for this talented team.
The girls knew they had big shoes to fill after the boys' performance and did not disappoint with some impressive hockey and team work in some very closely contested pool games. The girls drew their first two group games against Harlestone Magpies (1-1) and eventual runners up Sevenoaks (1-1). They needed 3 points to qualify for the play offs in their final group game against Clifton but unfortunately were not able to find the winner in a tight game which ended 0-1. The girls should be incredibly proud of their amazing season in their first year together which has included a tour to Rotterdam, the Copperbox indoor tournament and an impressive outdoor Championship campaign. The season is not yet over though as many of the U14 boys and girls are playing in the Derby Grand Slam indoor tournament on May 26th!
Thank you to Russell and Jonesy for their coaching this season and manager Jamie for his support of the team throughout 2018/19.
