U16A Hockey Team March into National Cup Final

King’s Worcester’s U16A hockey team has booked their place in the National Cup final after a stunning 8–2 victory in the semi-final, capping off an outstanding undefeated cup run.

The girls have now won all their matches in the competition, producing a series of emphatic performances along the way. Their journey to the final has seen them overcome strong opposition in five rounds, with results that underline both their attacking flair and defensive strength:

• King’s 11–0 Redmaids’
• King’s 2–0 King’s Gloucester
• King’s 5–0 Exeter School
• King’s 6–2 Bradfield College
• King’s 8–2 Tunbridge Wells

Across the competition, the team have scored an impressive 32 goals while conceding just four, a remarkable achievement at national level. Their success has been built on fast-paced, free-flowing hockey, combined with discipline, teamwork and confidence in every area of the pitch.

This has very much been a whole-squad effort, with every player playing an important role. The depth and quality within the team has allowed them to maintain intensity throughout matches and overwhelm opponents with consistently high standards of play.

The squad are now eagerly looking ahead to the National Cup final at Lee Valley on 10th March. The occasion will be particularly special for many of the players, with half the team having already experienced a national final last year when they were victorious in the U14 Plate final.

This outstanding achievement comes shortly after King’s Worcester was named one of the UK’s top sporting schools, a recognition driven in part by a string of exceptional hockey performances across age groups. The U16A team’s run to the National Cup final is another proud moment for the school and a testament to the strength of its hockey programme.

The girls should be immensely proud of their performances so far as they prepare to take to the national stage once again.
