Collyer’s Men’s hockey team have been crowned Sussex Under 18 County champions.

After a 2-1 win over Hurst, Collyer’s drew 2-2 with Lancing, and then won 1-0, in what was effectively the decider, against Seaford.

John Burroughs, Collyer’s Head of Sports Academy, and hockey coach was thrilled: “Harry Bubb scored a worldie in our win over Seaford. A reverse hit whilst falling over, having beaten 4 players, he still managed to score in the bottom right corner.“Each game was a thrilling encounter and the whole team were unbelievable!”

Collyer’s finished top of the group with 7 points, Seaford second with 6 points.

John Burroughs added: “All within the Collyer’s Sports Academy could not be prouder of this group, who now progress to regional round, against winners from Kent and Surrey, in early March.”

Collyer’s Vice Principal (Pastoral) Andrea John said: “Enormous congratulations! The Collyer’s men’s and women’s hockey goes from strength to strength, and we continue to attract quality players from schools across the region.”
