HOCKEY, 1960-61

             This season has been very successful compared with previous seasons, we now have a strong team. The defence has been good with Collin Ratcliff in goal and R. George and P. Best as backs. B. Gunner has been a great strength in the centre-half position. The forward line is not as strong as it should be, but J. Wallington, D. Setchell and P. Laurence have played hard the whole season. Unfortunately, several strong players will be leaving before the commencement of next season.

             Although the two matches against R.A.F. Apprentices at Bircham were lost, we had good games and managed to keep equal until half­time.

             The Langley match was won by the 1st XI 3-0. Our goals were scored by P. Paxon and P. Laurence.  The whole team played an excellent game and there was some good stick work  from Benedict Gunner and David Setchell. Unfortunately the Colts lost their match.

            The matches against King Edward VII School, King's Lynn, were both, good games. One we lost, the other we drew 1-1.

 The Junior matches against Burebank were both won. The home match 6-0 and the away match 1-0.

The purchase of twenty-two new Indian Head sticks by the Head­master during the later part of the season has generally improved the standard of the game throughout the school.
