Holland Hockey Tour

Pictured below are Myles Everett, Anthony Miarli and Chris Baker on the U16 Hockey tour to Holland. Their first game was a well-matched game against one of Rotterdam’s junior teams Shiplake took an early lead as the teams played three 20 minute thirds but by the end Rotterdam had clawed their way back into the game to win  3 – 1. A day off from Hockey gave the squad the chance to enjoy a day at the huge Efteling Theme Park and queue for some jaw-dropping rides. The second match of the mini-tour, versus an U16 team from the Wassenaar club, begun with torrential rain and both teams played some exciting attacking hockey but neither could make a key breakthrough in a high quality game. A 0  - 0 draw was a fair result in a game that neither team deserved to lose.
