U16 squad represent Eryri at national finals
It’s been an incredible start to the hockey season at Rydal Penrhos across all age groups.
The school has kept up development with specialist coaching sessions during the restricted period that prevented competitive action from taking place, something that’s enabled our talented young players to hit the ground running with some outstanding results since the start of term.
The school is proud to have multiple national titles over the last decade, which could continue in the coming weeks with U16 and U18 squads all winning their Eryri heats and qualifying for the Welsh Schools’ Championships.
Rydal Penrhos U14 girls and boys U18 squads have or will be representing the region in Newton. This week, it was the turn of the U16 girls’ team after they clinched the Eryri crown with an impressive victory over Ysgol Friars in Bangor.
It was another eye-catching performance from the group, who defended well, controlled possession throughout and demonstrated real conviction in front of goal to emerge victoriously.
Another standout feature from the triumph was much-improved communication and teamwork, which has been worked on heavily over recent months under the leadership of hockey coach Dan Rippon and other dedicated staff.
This was another fantastic experience for the team, who performed well in the face of some stern competition.
