Year 5 & 6 Girls & Boys Hockey Tournament

A great morning of hockey enjoyed by all!

Year 5 & 6 girls & Boys Kingston Schools Hockey Tournament 

On Thursday 28th February 8 boys and girls went to Surbiton Hockey Club to play in a Kingston Schools Hockey Tournament. 

19 Schools were taking part in the tournament split into 4 groups, with the top team from each group progressing through to the semi finals.

Corpus Christi started the first game very well winning 3-1 against Malden manor, then winning our second game 5-0 against Burlington playing some great passing hockey, being well organised in a good shape and utilising the space very well. After drawing our last game 2-2 with St Matthews we were through to the semi finals which was a great achievement. 

Unfortunately after a very close and competitive game and Corpus Christi having lots of the ball we lost 1-0 to latchmere, and then went on to lose 3-1 St Pauls so finishing 4th overall which is a great achievement and being told that the highest a Corpus Christi team has ever finished in the Kingston schools Hockey Tournament. 

Well done to all the children who took part, playing some great hockey showing a great attitude and work ethic and also representing our School excellently.

The tournament was also visited by a special guest, Great Britain and Surbiton hockey player Brendan Creed who was kind enough to do a Q&A for all the children and have pictures taken which the children found very exciting.
