O rganised by Head of Hockey Rob Hill, Will Francis (Reeves 2005–10) and Abigail East (Watt 2009–14) with the help of the Eastbournian Society, two matches took place during the afternoon. A barbecue, with beer, wine and soft drinks was laid on for the players and spec- tators and the day was blessed with great weather. We are hoping that this will become an annual event, so check out the Eastbournian Society website for details. On Sunday 18 August the newly reformed Old Eastbour- nian Hock ey Club played what they hope to be the first of many old boys matches against local rival Old Bedians. There was a great crowd of over 40 people who showed up to watch. Domenico Wright ably led the OE side to a 4–2 win
with goals coming from Matt Robinson x 2, Hugo Askaroff and Charlie Edwards. Some fan- tastic hockey was on show and the Eastbournian Society put on a great match tea which was enjoyed by spectators and both
sides in the glorious Eastbourne sunshine. Will Francis said: ‘We plan as a club to host regular fixtures each year with the potential of hosting an old boys hockey tournament in the future with
local schools Bedes, Hurst and Tonbridge all showing interest.’ If you wish to be included in communications or would like to be involved in the OE hockey committee please contact Will at willfrancis11@hotmail.com.
