HOCKEY CLUB It cannot be denied that the School had a disappointing season and I hope that the lessons which were learnt during the course of it will be applied next year. The combination of bad luck and lack of experience meant that our results were rather unflattering. The first eleven contained only two old colours and the lack of mature match experience showed in an inability to withstand pressure in defence and to press home attacks to successful conclusions. However, the effort and courage of the side cannot be faulted and I believe that players benefited greatly from the games during the season. The side was captained by David Phillips who despite setbacks never let his enthusiasm or encouragement falter and who never failed to give of his best. Those returning, half of the side, will, I am sure, be better for the experience gained in the hard school of matches. The second eleven were a little more successful, but they, too, contained a large proportion of younger players who return next year. Their dash and enthusiasm, now tempered by maturity of play, make me hopeful for next year. Two colts sides, under sixteen and under fifteen, had some matches this year and it was a pleasure to see the potential shown by many of these younger players. The Club as a whole enjoyed a lot of hockey because of the mild, though wet, spring and the seascin ended with a six-a-side knockout competition. I should like to thank all those members of itaff who gave their time in helping the Club at all levels. R.H.H. 48
