Match Day Programme Boys’ Hockey vs Blundell’s School Saturday 8 January 2022 Follow us

@ExeterSchoolUK @ExSchSports

Welcome to our opponents We would like to welcome our visitors from Blundell’s School to Exeter for this weekend’s hockey fixtures and look forward to some excellent matches on our return from the festive break. For many of the boys it will be either their first hockey match for the school or the first in over 18 months after a significant lay-off due to the pandemic.

We are also delighted to welcome parents and spectators from both schools and encourage them to actively support all the pupils, regardless of their team, with equal enthusiasm and respect. We politely ask them to support today’s referees and umpires; many of whom give up their time to enable the occasions to take place.

I am sure that you will enjoy watching and I look forward to meeting many of you throughout the day. We wish everyone involved in today’s fixtures the very best of luck and hope they enjoy their fixtures and visit to Exeter School.
