A Chester boys U16 hockey squad won through to the last eight of the national schools competition.
The King’s School team travelled to Cannock Hockey Club for two days of intense competition against the country’s top schools.
Although they did not win any games, there were many fine performances, most notably perhaps from goalkeeper Dan Whittingham, 15, of Nantwich, full back Rob Way, 15, of, Chester, centre midfield and skipper Will Dodd-Moore, 16, of Dodleston and attacking midfielders Harry Armatage, 14, of Tarporley and Alex Tan, 16, of Wrexham.
It was a solid squad effort from all concerned and hopes can justifiably be high for further improvement next year and beyond.
