CHESHIRE BOYS STAR IN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

 

 

North West Boys’ Under 15 squad became national champions at the  weekend and the squad included many Cheshire boys

This season's Boys’ Under 15 & Under17 Regional Tournaments were held at Belle Vue, Manchester  on 28-30 October 2005.

After three days of excellent hockey there were exciting finales in both competitions.

 

In the Under 15 event the North West defeated the South West 4-2 in a crucial encounter which meant they pipped them for the title. Needing only to draw the South West found themselves three down but fought back to 3-2 before being hit on the break to leave the North West 4-2 winners and deserved champions with the South West in second.
