CKEY 1977 HOCKEY, The 1977 Hockey season Ill HO was one of the more successful for a number Under the enthusiastic captaincy of John Noble, the first eleven
of years. produced a number of very useful wins. It was a pleasure to see the emphasis on attack and to note that all departments of the team thought ahead to see how the next attack should develop. The team only lost very one inter-school match, against Bootham, the rest were won, some As always, however, the best displays were against more convincingly. experienced opposition and without a doubt the matches against York H.C. and the Hockey Association were our best. It would be wrong to single out individuals in a team which I shall remember as one in which everyone was part of the whole, and each individual was helping the rest. The second eleven, captained by Mark Stringer, was as always a blend of youth and experience. In a season sadly reduced by the weather they were unbeaten. The younger members gained a lot of experience and I
hope that this will stand them in good stead for next year. The colts eleven, which is slowly building a useful fixture list, was as successful as the second eleven. John Ellison and his team were undefeated and produced some fine hockey. I hope that everyone, both team players and those who were not, enjoyed their hockey, although the weather limited us greatly in the early part of the season. I hope too that many of those who have played hockey at St. Peter's will go on to join clubs and continue to enjoy the game. Finally my thanks to all my colleagues for their help and support
during the season.
