Ivanhoe double up for Team Leicestershire titles

Ivanhoe picked up double glory in the Year 7/8 Hockey finals, as they fought off six other teams to be crowned Team Leicestershire champions.

Five girls sides competed at St Margaret's Pastures on 31^st January, with a high level of hockey on show across all teams. They played simultaneously with three boys sides, who faced off against each other twice as they looked to pick up the points needed to secure the trophy.

The final table for the girl's finals reads:

5^th – Wreake Valley
4^th – Charnwood College
3^rd – Welland Park Academy
2^nd – Dixie Grammar School
1^st – Ivanhoe College

The boy's top three were:

3^rd – Wreake Valley
2^nd – Dixie Grammar School
1^st – Ivanhoe College

Five of the 10 districts were well represented and despite cold temperatures and the occasional rainfall, there was a strong sense of fairplay throughout, with sides interacting both on and off the pitch.
