RGS Hockey Coach Wins Super 6s National Indoor Hockey Finals
Sally Walton, former GB Olympic medallist and RGS Hockey Coach, and her team Bowdon Hightown won their 12th indoor title defeating Leicester in the National Super 6s Indoor Hockey Final which was held last Saturday at the Copper Box Arena in the Olympic Park in London.
A coach full of pupils of all ages travelled down to London to watch the Super 6s. Sally put Bowdon into an early lead before Charlene Mason hit the winner after Rachael Mack had drawn Leicester level. It was a tight game between two impressive sides, but it was Bowdon who went on to win 2-1.
Year Eleven pupil Sophie Thompson, who is Captain of the School’s Under 16 side who were recent semi-finalists in the Super 6s Under 16 School Championships, was there to experience this momentous occasion. Sophie said,” It was a great trip where all of us were able to watch some high-level Hockey and get involved by supporting Miss Walton. She played really well and we all enjoyed the chance to celebrate her team’s success.” The pupils then had the opportunity to be photographed with Sally Walton and the trophy.
