Repton toasts double hockey successTemplate

Repton School is celebrating success on the hockey field after scooping two coveted national titles.

Continuing its strong tradition of success in the sport, girls from Repton achieved the double victory at the recent England Hockey National Finals.

The school’s U18 and U14 Girls triumphed at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre, showcasing their dominance on the national stage.

Repton’s hockey programme has turned out seven Olympians since 2008 and a collection of gold and bronze medals at London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.

Several former Repton players have gone on to represent England and Great Britain, including Georgie Twigg, Shona McCallin and Leah Wilkinson.

Ian Pollock, the school’s assistant head co-curricular, said: “This is a tremendous achievement and continues the school’s strong legacy of producing first class hockey players.

“Our players train almost daily to develop their skills, fitness, and tactical understanding, and their dedication has truly paid off.”
