On Sunday 5 May Rugby and East Warwickshire Hockey Club's U10 girls and boys travelled to Nottingham to play in the Midland Regional Finals for the England Hockey In2Hockey tournament. Both teams were representing Warwickshire having finished in the top two of a previous competition. Of the 20 girls and boys representing the club 13 were from Crescent School!

The boys had the perfect morning winning all of their group games scoring 12 goals and conceding none and so proceeded confidently into the knock out stages.  They then went on to beat Sutton Coldfield (3-0) and Repton (2-0) before defeating Belper 2-0 in the final. Therefore the boys are the 2019 Midlands U10 Champions. They fully deserved their success and should be very proud of their achievements this season. Well done to Matthew, Sam, Noah, Marco, George, Archie and Joshua.

The girls were very competitive and showed great determination and team work. Leading their group at the half way stage, they unfortunately lost two games by just one goal which dropped them to fifth in the group. Final result, ninth best team in the Midlands. Good effort by all and they had a thoroughly good time! Well done to Amelie, Harriett, Amy, Eve and Sienna. They should be very proud!
