from Harrison, but Selwyn managed to sneak an equaliser to send the match to penalty flicks. An excellent save from Andrew Gayfer and a miss from Selwyn allowed infallible flicks from Trinity to produce a 4–2 victory. In the second round of Cuppers, Trinity faced Jesus College and looked a real threat for the first three quarters of the match, but a lack of experience and clinical finishing allowed Jesus to develop a 2–1 lead. As Trinity pushed higher to equalise, Jesus managed to make breaks to give the highly flattering score line of 5–1. As Jesus went on to win both Cuppers and the Division 1 title with similar score lines, this was an entirely respectable performance. Special mention must be made of Lucy Caines and Lucy Wark, who regularly joined the men’s team as well as playing for the women’s.

With the majority of the team remaining for next year, there is a good possibility for the new intake to bolster numbers sufficiently to challenge for promotion to Division 1.
Women’s Hockey By Louisa Caines (2010) This season the Hockey League has been afflicted by both inclement weather and a shortage of players. Having been relegated to Division III last season, we found ourselves struggling to arrange matches as three of our five opponents in the League failed to put together a team and forfeited. At last we played our first and only League match against Queens’ College, which we won 3 –0. This left us in second position in the League on goal difference. There were many positives to be taken from this year. Once again, we combined successfully with Fitzwilliam College to form a joint team. The strength of this partnership was evidenced in a convincing 4–1 victory in a friendly match against St. John’s. Especially considering our lack of match exposure, this was quite a result against a skilful Division I team, and reflected both the skill of the more experienced players and the developing confidence of the newer team members. Many of the women players benefited also from playing alongside the Trinity/Fitzwilliam men’s team, both in the Men’s League matches and in the Mixed Cuppers competition, culminating in a resounding 8–0 win against Peterhouse in the Third Round. Though there have not been as many fixtures as we might have hoped for, these victories bode well for next season, when Trinity should be in a good position to gain promotion.
