The Queen’s College U16 girls’ hockey team had a fantastic day at the West of England finals, held at Clifton 
College on Sunday.
Despite losing their initial first round match to Canford (1-3), the girls easily won their matches against Dean Close (3-0) and Prior Park (6-0) to reach the semi-final against Millfield.
This match was slightly closer, resulting in a 1-1 draw that was settled by penalty strokes; the Queen’s girls won these 4-3 to go through to the final.
The final against Canford was a fantastic team performance and the Queen’s girls were named West Champions after winning 4-0.
Imogen Allen and Laura Fry captained the team with maturity and the girls all showed lots of fight and determination throughout the tournament.
The U16 team will now go on to represent the West in the national finals in the New Year.
Said Headmaster Chris Alcock: “We are very proud of the team’s success at the West of England finals and everyone at Queen’s College wishes them all the best in their next matches at national level. Hockey is a sport that Queen’s College really excels at, thanks to the excellent facilities and the first-rate coaching available at the school.”
