St George's Weybridge are Haileybury Shield Victors

We were delighted to welcome 20 teams to Haileybury on Tuesday to take part in the U11 IAPS Boys' Hockey London and Home Counties tournament. St George's Weybridge were the well-deserved winners after a full day of matches played on our two all-weather pitches, and they took home the Haileybury Shield. The Beacon School were Shield runners-up and were presented with silver medals. In the Plate competition South Lee School won with Ashfold as runners-up.

All four semi-finalists now qualify for the Nationals which take place on 11 March: Felsted, The Beacon, Bancroft's and St George's Weybridge.

Hockey sticks were awarded to three boys named as Players of the Day: Alex Harmes (St George's Weybridge), Lewis Smith (The Beacon) and Seb Milbank (South Lee).

Congratulations to the winners and to all those who participated – it proved to be an action packed tournament and spectators enjoyed the hgh standard of hockey on display.
