Hockey News

... with our Senior Boys’ 1st and 2nd XI – along with our U14 and U15s – achieving victories in some highly competitive fixtures against the likes of Hurst, Ardingly, Seaford, PGS and Worth. Thank you to all the hockey players for their hard work and efforts throughout games lessons, training sessions and matches, which has paid off with excellent results and a growing enjoyment of hockey at Lancing College. I would like to say a big congratulations to all of our players for the manner in which they have represented the College this year. From our youngest teams right through to our Senior 1st XI & 2nd XI teams, I believe the conduct of our players, along with their coaches, team managers and umpires, has been a credit to the reputation of the school.

We look forward to welcoming the Fifth and Sixth Form pupils back to hockey after the Easter break for our inaugural mixed summer league hockey. This will take place on a Tuesday afternoon alongside the usual girls’ preseason hockey training on a Friday. Coaches and staff are excited to see the continued success and growth of hockey in the 2023–2024 season.
