TWO King’s Worcester hockey teams have made history by reaching national finals for the first time.

The school’s Under 13A team reached the finals of the Independent School Hockey Cup (ISHC) and won the Midlands In2hockey Regional Finals.

The Under 14s became the school’s first team to make a Schools Championship final after winning the Tier One Plate National Finals, run by England Hockey.

Lora Miller‑Symonds, director of sport at King’s, said: “These achievements across the age groups reflect a fantastic period for the school’s hockey programme, with players at every level demonstrating skill and determination against some of the country’s top teams.

“We are incredibly proud of all our young hockey players’ commitment, which has made this season one to remember for King’s.”

Players at King’s have access to a strength and conditioning coach and state-of-the-art fitness suite throughout the year.

Four pupils have gone on to represent their country in the past.
