“Girls OP Hockey has been a possibility for many years. In 2010 we finally organised a date in October and played a match against the current College 1st X1,” reports Lucy Hamblin-Rooke (01-08). “We managed to drag along a few old faces from leavers of the 2005-09 vintage, of whom a few probably hadn’t seen their sports kit in years.
“The game resulted in a 6-0 loss and without
Philippa Allen, our goalkeeper, making some excellent saves the score would have been a lot worse! Still, it was a great afternoon, with plenty of humour and more importantly it got OP’s together to have a good catch up. Our aim is to try and make this an annual event. One idea is to merge the OP hockey and rugby on the same day which would bring everyone together and hopefully result in more OPs coming along to watch.
