Boys’ Sports
Upper school (Hockey)
The 1st team competed in a physical encounter against Pinewood. The boys played the better Hockey throughout and were leading 1-0 at half time after Tommy H-B converted from a short corner. We conceded immediately after half time but from there had the better chances but failed to convert, leaving the final score at 1-1. George D deserved MVP after his excellent debut at right back. A 4-2 win for the 2s was a fair reflection of the quality showed by the team. Some good attacking play and clinical finishing from Milo H (twice), Rocco S and Ludo G was pleasing to see as was MVP Alfie S at right back, who had a fantastic game. For the first 3/4 of their match, the 3rds played brilliantly, holding shape, retaining possession and passing well, leaving them 3-1 up. In the final quarter however, the boys somehow managed to lose 4-3 in the end, losing some composure and conceding to counter attacks. William B was strong at right back and Oscar C made some good saves. The 4s started with a 1-0 win, with some fluid Hockey played between Ralphie B, Hector H and Edward P based on the strong defensive foundations of this week’s MVP, Lance S. The 5s also started the season with a 1- 1 draw, with some strong and consistent defensive work from Sam J combined with Samuel S leadership and perseverance saw some promising Hockey being played by the side.
Upper school (Football)
U11As endured a nail-biting encounter against a relentless Pinewood side. Despite constant pressure, the first half saw St Hugh’s go 2-0 up, with the tenacious Morgan D capitalising on some leaky Pinewood defence to claim a brace. St Hugh’s conceded just before half time and clung on throughout the second half, until, with 5 minutes to go, Pinewood constructed 2 well deserved goals. Eddie F wins MVP; his athleticism, sharp reflexes and superb handling in goal kept our boys in the game for so long. After last week’s impressive start to the season, the U11Bs struggled and ultimately lost 4-0. A slight telling off at half time improved things in the second half, however, this was not enough to get back into the game. Ralph L was good at the back and MVP Ollie H was outstanding in goal. The U11C team put in a spirited performance in a gripping encounter that ended 1-1. After a scramble in the box, Ethan H was on hand to side-foot the ball into the net, but the side were unable to extend their lead further, eventually conceding midway through the second half. Charlie F was a gritty presence in midfield, but, for the second week running, Ibrahim A was MVP for his work rate and drive. The U10As put in a strong performance but ultimately lost 3-0, which was not a fair reflection of an even contest. 0-0 with 5 minutes remaining, after the boys missed some guilt edged opportunities, Pinewood scored and, in their efforts to get an equaliser, conceded twice more. A cruel end but Oscar H, Quin M and Finn H were all superb. It was much the same for the U10Bs; a 3-0 loss despite an even game. The boys had lots of possession in the final third but couldn’t finish their chances, unlike Pinewood who scored with every chance they had. Jude S was MVP for his attacking play down the right side of the pitch. Against a physical side, the 10Cs showed great resilience, keeping a clean sheet until half time due to relentless defending. Pinewood improved in the second half and started converting their chances, eventually winning the game, despite a goal from Henry R. Oliver C was brave all match and made some great saves, which earns him MVP.
