Girls Rugby has also been building with regular Tuesday training sessions and guest coaching sessions from England's Bean Earl and World Cup winning Red Roses Rosie Galligan and Marlie Packer. The girls are looking forward to their first tournament of the year in February.

It has been an exceptional Hockey term at Mill Hill, with over 80 fixtures played and every squad demonstrating tremendous skill, character and passion for the sport.

Our U14 teams set the tone early in the season. The U14Bs, coached by Miss Alexander and Miss Wallwork, went unbeaten—a remarkable achievement for a newly formed squad. The U14As, led by Mr Hendy and Miss Sheffield, also impressed, securing a place in the Tier 2A semi-final after a standout qualifying performance.

The U15s enjoyed similar success. Guided by Mrs Ward and Mr Plummer, the U15Bs showed real perseverance, finishing with a superb win over Haileybury. The U15As, coached by Mr Diamond and Miss Stephens, lost just once all term and topped their group at the London regional finals, earning a well-deserved semi-final spot after Christmas.

Higher up the school, the 2nd XI, under Miss Aries, battled through a demanding fixture list, including a memorable victory over Forest. Our 1st XI, led by Julie M, capped an outstanding season by qualifying for the regional indoor finals and securing a national quarter-final place. We also acknowledge and thank departing players Julie M, Edie W, Bea C and Poppy F-M for their immense contribution.

With three teams still competing after Christmas, the strength and depth of Mill Hill Hockey is clear. Congratulations to all players and coaches for a truly inspiring term.
