4th XI skipper, Harry Wilson commanded his troops both on and off the field with confidence and skill today. His leadership played no small part in an impressive win for the 4th XI hockey team over Henley College this afternoon. Ably assisted by Fred Versen, Harry controlled the mid field and enabled the fearsome threesome of Ben Brassey, Alex Baker and Bevan Hornsby to run riot up front. These three are becoming the scourge of South Oxfordshire schools hockey; not only are they displaying hitherto undiscovered talent but they are also bringing flair, humour and an element of the unknown to the game. Fergus Robertson-McIsaac, a convert from rowing, is also playing a key role in the team. Elevated from the 5th XI, goalie Ed Harris played his part in a fine 3-1 victory over the local rivals. An indication of the spirit in which the game was played was provided by Head of College, Alex Baker who, having collided with and knocked over one of the Henley female players, proceeded to apologise most graciously, at least four times!
The 1st XI recorded an impressive win over Reading Bluecoat School this afternoon. James Luscombe scored four times, Callum Thomas three and James Black once in a stunning 8-0 whitewash.
