Success at the Repton Cup for HC Knole Park!

HC Knole Park’s U14 Girls won Gold at the Repton Cup with some exceptional performances throughout the week long tournament! The girls won four, drew one and lost one match on their way to the victory at the Championships. Playing against club side Repton HC, as well as divisional teams from the South and West of England respectively the girls played each team twice. A final 5-1 victory against the West of England in a ‘winner takes all’ match was the performance of the season!

Boadicea Cannon was selected as the Player of the Tournament with Charlotte Watkins collecting the Top Goal-Scorer prize with six goals. Summer Knight-Thompson and Amber Croll were also exceptional throughout.

In the indoor tournament the girls played Repton HC in two friendlies. A single penalty corner goal from Summer Knight-Thompson gave the A-team a 1-0 win, whilst two goals from Mackenzie Ward and one from Talya Harvey gave the B-team a 3-0 win.

In the indoor tournament the girls won all their group matches except for one draw. Once again the girls qualified for the Final, which once again would be played against Repton HC! The performance of the weekend saw the girls run out 4-0 winners! Mali Nicholls top scored for the indoor team with six goals.

Duncan Parnis, HC Knole Park Head Coach said: “We are so pleased to have been able to go away this summer with these two squads. It’s obviously been a very tough year for everyone. Repton have been brilliant in being able to host these tournaments under the Covid limitations. To see how much the girls improved in such a short space of time was hugely rewarding for all. The final performances for both the U12 and U14 Girls were simply awesome! The girls all had a great time together off the pitch too – memories and friends for life is exactly why we always try and go away each year! My thanks to the mangers, parents and players for their support this week too.”

The Repton Cup is an invitational tournament held annually in Repton School, Derbyshire. Teams are invited from across England for the two-day U12 tournament and four-day U14 tournament.
