On Saturday 6 September, the much-anticipated ladies’ hockey match between the OS and College X1 teams took place, drawing an enthusiastic crowd of supporters. The OS team was a strong mix of players with leaving years spanning from 2020 through to the new additions of 2025, freshly representing the OS side under the captaincy of Izzie Earle (TRH, 20-25).

The match was fast-paced and played in quarters, keeping both teams on their toes throughout. The College made a strong start, dominating the first half and taking a 2-0 lead by halftime. Despite the OS team’s resilience and spirited attempts to break through, the College’s defence stood strong, and the second half saw them extend their advantage with the final whistle confirming a 5-0 victory for the College.

The turnout was brilliant, with OS and parents cheering passionately from the sidelines, creating a buzzing atmosphere that energized the players on both sides.

Congratulations to College on a well-deserved win, the game highlighted some exceptional talent and sportsmanship, and we eagerly look forward to seeing many of these brilliant players continue to develop and eventually join the OS team in the years ahead. Equally, huge admirations to the OS team who brought experience and determination, without such dedication these sporting fixtures could not take place. We greately apreciate all who gave up their spare time to both take part and support the match with a special shoutout to Thea Came (PP,MJH,AH, 12-24) who joined us on her 20th birthday!
