Hockey

Mill Hill Hockey welcomed back some old, and not so old faces to play for an “old girls” tams against the 1st X1. As ever, the fixture was very competitive and it was great to see some battles between our current stars and the stars from the past.

Sophie Tingle, Ella Duthie, Milli Lloyd, Kimberley Balcombe were the outstanding OM’s Players, with India Whitty proving to be as solid as ever in goal.

The 1st X1 started very brightly, dominating the game before taking the lead. The Old Girls hit back, before a middle part of the game where the sides exchanged blows, but without troubling the scorers. As the Old Girls tired, Mill Hill pressed home their advantage, scoring twice to take a 3-1 lead.

Late in the game a great passage of play and a composed finish from Ella Duthie saw the OMs snatch a late consolation.

In 2019, we are hopeful that OMs will return in greater numbers and are keen to make the game a highly successful annual event. Please get in touch if you would like to join us.

Since leaving Mill Hill, I have been lucky enough to study Psychology and Criminology, a subject which I find simultaneously interesting and rewarding, at Nottingham Trent University.

Additionally, I have taken up a multitude of work placements amongst varying industries (from broking firms to shadowing a top barrister) in order to explore my career prospects for when I graduate, as I am still undecided on what path I want to take following University.

With my questionable stamina and lack of commitment to sport, I cannot claim to have excelled in a sports team, unlike many other alumni, but I partake in a dance team and frequent the gym at my University as more of a hobby than anything else.
