HOCKEY CLUB 1972 This season has been most frustrating because, for reasons other than weather, three matches were cancelled. Normally one expects to miss some fixtures during a Spring term because of the weather, but an extra three missed like this is disappointing. In those matches that the first eleven have played their standard has been quite high. They have shown a lot of skill considering the practice and experience they have had and they have worked hard in school matches and other games. Particularly creditable were the performances against Worksop College and Styx Hockey Club. D. M. Dempsey, by his untiring example, moulded and led the closest knit team that I have known. The second eleven, under C. H. Beall, always gave the first a close game in practices and in their matches provided a formidable set of opponents. The club generally had a bad time with weather early in the term and we all became heartily sick of tarmac and tennis courts. Later, however, as the pitches dried out we have been able to play on grass and there has been an improvement in our standards as the season progressed. My thanks go to all members of staff who have during the season helped so willingly with the hockey club. R.H.H.
