8 - 3 Semi Final against St. Anthony's

The team has been receiving extra training sessions on Thursday Mornings from 8 - 9am with Mr Turner (parent/governor) who coaches Wanstead RC.
They now go on to represent Redbridge at Crystal Palace in April.
Good Luck to our team!
Last week we went to the London Youth Hockey Competition. It was great fun and everyone enjoyed themselves.
We kept fit and active even when it was time for our five minute break! We have all trained very hard for this event by having our coach come in every Monday to train us. We were given great tips and advice on how to tackle the opposition.
On the day, we lost one match against Bancroft School but we didn't let them drag us down we kept our heads held high and carried on! The hard work paid off since we won every single match after that!
Sadly we lost out on goal difference so we didn't manage to get to the final. However the other schools, that also didn't qualify, like us, were allowed to play matches and guess what? we won all of those as well!!
