Bedford Prep School’s U13 hockey team are the new regional champions of the IAPS Hockey Sevens. The U13 hockey team began the day with a 1-0 win against Feltonfleet School, before going one better to win 2-0 against Windlesham House School. Next up was Highfield School, who were the only school to defeat the boys in the competition, with a score of 2-1. The boys then returned to winning form with a 2-0 victory over St Andrew’s School, Woking. In their last pool match, the boys drew 0-0 with Kingshott School. However their results of four wins, one loss and one draw put them into second place and through to the semi-finals. In the semi-finals they defeated Westbourne House 1-0 to secure their spot in the finals against Dulwich Prep. In the exciting final, it was all square at 1-1 at the end of regular extra time, so the boys had to go to penalty shuffles, but they held their nerve and won 2-1 to take the title. The team now go on to compete in the national finals.
