St Martha's win SSP Quicksticks Tournament

On Weds 16th Nov Pelicans Hockey Club hosted this seasons SSP Quicksticks Hockey Tournament.

A record breaking 24 school teams took part in the Partnerships first competitive School Games event for this school year.

All teams played a series of round robin matches during the morning which were umpired by Club members Kate Lemon, Graham Brooks, Andrea Glover, Will Lankfer and Sue Picton. After lunch teams were then re-organised into a group winners pool, group runners up pool, 3rd and 4th place pool and 5th and 6th place pool.

By the end of the afternoon all teams had completed at least nine games of Hockey, all showing that they had increased in confidence and ability as the day progressed.

At the presentation to conclude the tournament local National player Ella Picton presented medals to the top three teams and signed autographs for the players. Ella proved to be a fantastic role model for all players attending having attended South Wootton Junior school, playing Hockey at Pelicans Hockey Club and progressing to the heights of a regular U18 England Hockey squad player.

After a really hard fought but enjoyable day of Hockey the top three teams were -

3rd place: South Wootton Junior

Runners Up: St Georges Junior

Winners: St Martha's Primary

St Martha's and St Georges will now represent West Norfolk at the County School Games at the UEA in June.

Many thanks go to Pelicans Hockey Club for their support on the day not only with providing umpires, the pitch and the use of the clubhouse but also for their support of Hockey development across the Partnership of Schools in West Norfolk.

Well done to all those who made the day such a huge success.
