The under 11 boys team, who finsihed 2nd at the Regional Yazoo Hockey Finals in Harleston

On Saturday 25th April, Bury St Edmunds Hockey Club Under 11 boys squad represented Suffolk at the Yazoo Regional Finals finishing 2nd in the East Region. The tournament took place at Harleston Magpies near Diss against the county representatives for Norfolk, Essex, Lincs, Beds, Cambs and Herts. We had a fantastic day where the 8 boys (Alex Blumfield, Will King, Will Tooke, Tom Schanschieff, Tom Barber, Ben Whittaker, Harry Davies and Woody Turner and honorary boy, Ella Dowling) playing 6 matches: won 2, 2 score draws and 2 no-score draws – they were unbeaten, only conceding 2 goals - a brilliant achievement. The effort they put in during a long day was incredible and their coach, Andy Tooke is exceedingly proud of them. The overall winners, Gresham's School, our squad held to a 1:1 draw. Finishing an outstanding 2nd means they are in the top 10 squads of under 11 boys teams in the country as England Hockey operate 5 regions.
