BGS 4-3 Stonyhurst ✅ 🚨

A nail biting afternoon in the barn 😬

The boys edge past Stonyhurst in a tiebreak shootout to make it through to the last 32 nationally and regional final of the Glanville cup 💪🏻🎾

Special mention to Lucas for a superb win at 1 🥇

Words cannot describe how proud I am of these boys for what they have achieved so far… and there’s still so much more to come!

Today’s fixture was one of the best games I have ever been a part of as player, umpire or coach. A defining game for all. | #HocAge #MoodInTheRoom

A tense England Hockey round 3 cup game this evening for our boys 1XI vs Yarm. Small margins between the two sides.

The boys can be proud of what they have achieved this season already and still so much left to play for! Well done boys!

Wishing all of our lovely Year 11s the best of luck tomorrow! You have all worked so hard this year! ⭐️🍀

Thank you to staff - without their sacrifice, care & love for the pupils, the opportunity would not have been possible. Giving up a huge chunk of their holidays to look after such a big group in a challenging country.

A massive thank you to them too ❤️🇿🇦

GOAL Brentford 0-1 Spurs (11 mins)

A superb free-kick from James Maddison is headed in by Cristian Romero. After a check with VAR for potential offside the goal is given, the away side lead!

"One version of confidence is: I've got this figured out.

Another version is: I can figure this out.

The first is arrogant and close-minded. The second is humble and open-minded.

Be humble about what you know, but confident about what you can learn."
