Girls' Hockey

The 2010/2011 season proved to be yet another very successful season. The number of girls who were keen to be involved in teams has continued to increase each year (approximately 45 seniors turned up to preseason training) and this has led to us increasing our fixture list to include appropriate matches against many different schools – often with our B/C teams playing against other schools A/B teams. Sarah Holman in her role as Girls Games Co-oridnator has been extremely helpful and provided each team with some excellent fixtures. Also all of the respective coaches have benefited from her superb organisation of the weekly programme and consistent support on the side-line.

All three of our National School teams (U18, U16 and U14) were Devon Champions and each team progressed to the West Finals. The U18 and U16 teams having to play an extra round this year – we were able to host one of the tournaments this year due to us now having two astroturfs! There are not many schools who are able to reach the finals in both these senior age groups but the fact that just over 30 girls were involved in the West campaign is testament to the talent we have and also to the commitment shown by the girls.

Guy Bucknell has been instrumental in developing the U16 team as well as the 2nd team who must be one of the strongest 2nd teams on the West circuit. Debbie Hosking once again produced a very strong U14 team who gained some excellent results in their West Finals. The new boy – Mr Mead – rose to the challenge of coaching Year 10 girls and was extremely successful (and competitive) with this age group. Both these age groups also had input from Ali Menheneott and Becky Milne who ran the respective B teams superbly. At the senior end Jeremy Shrimpton’s 3rd team, once again, played some very skilful hockey and also provided players for the U16 National Schools team. Andrew Barlow’s Babes (the 4th team) had another almost perfect season and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There were some exciting matches for the 5th team as well and my thanks go to all the staff who were involved in all ages. There a number of players who have represented Devon as well as some of our more talented players being selected for West squads. However, it is the effort and attitude of all the players who allow us to continue to be such a strong hockey school. NJK

Sherborne Tournament

The 1st team started the season well with some excellent performances at the Sherborne Invitational Tournament. Group Results:
V Queen’s won 1-0
V Bryanston lost 0-1
V Leweston won 2-1
We then proceeded to the semi-finals where we played Sherborne. Having had a large percentage of the play we failed to capitalise on the numerous scoring opportunities we created but we did play some excellent and exciting hockey. The 0-0 draw led to penalty flicks which Sherborne won. However, although disappointed that we didn’t reach the final the day was very successful - all the squad played in each match and every player contributed. The new Year 11s, Beth Cross, Breanna Wilder and Jodie Atkins, as well as the new Goalkeepers' Abi Lunn and Holly Keevil, all showed real potential.

Devon Mini U13 Hockey Finals

The squad finished in a very creditable third place. Alix Mountbatten did a great job as manager, keeping all the scores. They won their section by beating Maynard 1-0, (after losing 6-2 last night to them!) They then beat Clyst Vale 10 0 and St Peters 3 0, before going 2-0 down against Colyton and eventually winning 3-2.

The semi final was against Exeter School and they lost 3-0, but they played much better in the second half. Hattie Nash was the player of the tournament, Annabel Sexton was fantastic as well, but it was a real team effort and everyone contributed.

Goal scorers: Annabel Sexton 7, George Pitts 5, Ottilie Mundy 3, Hannah Le Gassick 1, Louisa Kitson 1

Rest of squad, Hattie Nash, Nicole Charles, Zara Cameron, Molly Horsey, Tabby Pring.
