Hockey
Lily Hutton (No.8) and Jasmine Ellis (No.4) have received an invitation to attend England trials in October half term for the U18s and U16s respectively. The trials will be held at Lilleshall National Sports Centre, the home of the England National Age Group programme, with our own Mark Moss as part of the coaching team.

Riding
Several of our riders competed in various eventing competitions over the summer holidays, all were happy to be back competing and working towards improving their personal bests. Well done to Freja Bedell (No.6), Henrietta Pope (No.8) who came second out of 35 at a competition at Swalcliffe Park last weekend, Gia Neath (No.6) and Eve Leslie (No.3). We are looking forward to the term ahead.

Prior to lockdown, we held our first 16+ hockey scholarship assessment and applicants from five different schools applied. It was a very competitive group who all displayed qualities that we felt would not only enhance our very strong team but would also bring something different to our programme. We were delighted to name Jasmine Ellis (No.4) as our Bathurst Scholar, who is looking forward to the next two years at Malvern and is hoping that despite the restrictions we have now, that we will have a successful season both indoor and outdoor.
