Three local rivals provided stiff competition for our U11 Girls Hockey team as they ventured onto our Foundation partner's astro turf to take part in this year's Princethorpe College Hockey Festival.
This day is billed to be 'non-competitive', where the game itself should win, through the teaching of additional skills to nuture developing players. Such ambitions were easily met by the Princethorpe College coaching staff, who with real skill led their young charges through a format that included coaching sessions on skills, attack and defensive.
As life might teach you, preparation and practice can only serve you well if used within the 'heat' of a competitive match. In the festival, each side pitted their wits and newly learnt talents against each other. The final whistle of Crackley's third game came and revealed all, our girls had two victories against Revel School and Our Ladies, and had secured a very creditable second place overall. Not even a rain storm at the concluding award ceremony could dampen the high spirits - for today, hockey and Crackley's girls were winners.

Match Report by Isaac Leng: This was a very close and competitive match, where our defence held firm despite repeated attacks by Ratcliffe. We believe that with a bit more practice we might be able to beat them 6 - 2 next time.
