Hockey: international fixtures start the season in style

On Thursday, 14 September, it was a pleasure to play host to students from Balmoral College in Argentina as part of their UK hockey tour.

Two friendly matches for our girls’ teams ended in a win for each team

In the first friendly of the afternoon, King’s took the victory in the U15s match, whilst the Buenos Aires tourists won a well-matched game against the first XI.

Director of Hockey, Simon Egerton, thanked the staff and students from Balmoral College for their visit.

He said: “It has been a great pleasure to host Balmoral College today.

“The girls relished the opportunity to play against international opposition in a memorable and valuable start to the season.

“ I hope that our Argentinian friends enjoyed their visit as much as we did.

“I wish them well for the remainder of their UK tour and a safe journey home.”
