NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! 🏆🏑

Congratulations to our U18 Boys’ Hockey team, who finished victorious in a nail-biting @englandhockey T2 National Plate Final at Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre in Olympic Park, London.

After a close match and with seven minutes left on the clock, Uppingham fought back to win the match 2-1 - and the travelling crowd went wild!

Mr James Baker, Deputy Director of Sport and Director of Hockey, said: “To say I’m proud would be an understatement. A performance and a team to be proud of. The supporters were terrific, and it was a great occasion for the school community.”
