Jan Millar former PE teacher and now Cover Supervisor for the school has been delivering Hockey sessions on a Wednesday after school and had come up with the idea of running a 10 week Hockey league which ran on a Tuesday and Friday Lunch. 9 teams entered the league which was open to boys and girls.

The girl’s team finished 3rd and undefeated out of 8 whilst the boys finished 3rd out of 5.
