Shinfield St Mary’s CE Junior and Willow Bank Junior will both represent Wokingham in the Berkshire School Games in Maidenhead on Wednesday, March 22.

The two schools shared first place in last week’s Wokingham School Games Hockey tournament which was contested at Sonning Hockey Club.

12 teams from years five and six battled it out on Thursday, March 9, competing in mixed six a side matches which were umpired by Sonning Hockey players.

Gwenda Lappin, Wokingham Schools Games organiser said: “The umpires used their knowledge and experience to help the children understand the rules, making the whole tournament a very positive learning experience.

“The importance of using a vibrant and friendly club to host is vital to promote the game, and this should never be underestimated.”

Chris Manning from Sonning Hockey Club, who helped organise the tournament, added: “This has become an annual event for the club and we’re delighted to be able to support and encourage junior hockey in the area by hosting the tournament.”
