Sheringdale win Quicksticks Hockey

23 teams from 13 primary schools braved the arctic weather conditions to compete in the annual Quicksticks Hockey competition at Southfields Academy. In total over 120 young people took part in matches refereed by coaches from Spencer Hockey Club and Roehampton University Hockey team.

Following the excting group stages we ended up with the semi finalists for both the Championship and Cup competitions coming from the same four schools, Holy Ghost, Honeywell, Our Lady Queen of Heaven & Sheringdale schools.

Holy Ghost ended up narrowly beating OLQH by 2-1 in the Cup competition, with Sheringdale finishing 3rd and Honeywell in 4th place.

In the Championship final, Sheringadale proved too strong for reigning champions Honeywell, winning 2-0. Holy Ghost picked up the bronze medal, with OLQH finisihing in 4th place.

Schools were also able to nominate which opponents felt demonstrated the best sporting values at the event. Furzedown, Penwortham, Honeywell and Granard picked up the RespectThegames Awards on the day. Please see what schools said about the following team below:

Furzedown - 'Showed great sporting behaviour, and their players didn't argue and kept smiling'

Penwortham -'Played as a team and showed a great attitude whether they won or lost'

Granard - 'For their determination and great attitude, especially when they responded kindly when a member of our team was injured'.

Earlsfield -'Really nice, despite losing, brilliant sporting behaviour'

We would all like to wishing Sheringdale good luck in the London School Games final in March.
