Football and Hockey Award Winners

17 April 2015

Following an emotional football and hockey season, boots were hung up- for some of Shiplake’s players, for the very last time. Ensuring the season ended with a bang, the annual Football and Hockey Awards took place, celebrating the players who have made a great impact over the course of the season.

Staff and students enjoyed drinks and snacks, whilst eagerly anticipating the announcement of the winners in each category. The 1st XI hockey team finished undefeated in the second half of the season, winning three matches and drawing two; a fantastic testament to the hard work of each player in the team. The 2nd XI also had a successful season, enjoying numerous wins and working hard to come together as a formidable side!

The 1st XI football team did not enjoy quite as successful a season; however, with several students from Years 11 and 12 introduced into the squad, the hard work and commitment shown by the team over the course of the season looks set to create a strong team for next season. The 2nd XI also faltered slightly this season, conceding some matches to local rival schools. However, the enthusiasm for the game is a credit to the players, and the players are keen to throw themselves into training for next season.
