They rallied to score again in the second half, but despite determined efforts from OPs, the School maintained their edge to secure a convincing 6-2 win. However, with no subs to call upon and having not played together as a team before, the OPs were on the back foot from the start finding themselves 3-1 down at half-time despite being first to score. Despite continued pressure from the School, the strength and depth of the OP ladies was telling as the match progressed, with OPs achieving a comfortable 8-2 win over the School.Īlthough the OP men struggled for numbers this year, they managed to put out a decent side to take on the School.
RAF and City of York player, Laura Horne (01-08), captained the side and was ably supported by an OP team comprising several experienced regulars from Pock Ladies, Hull Hawks and University sides.

The OP ladies were out in full force with an impressive squad of 15 players despite some late dropouts through injury and Covid. With the netball done and dusted, the focus switched to hockey, with matches starting at 10.30am. Thanks to all the OPs who made the trip back to Pock for the game – it was great to welcome you back.” Lucy Hornby (02-04), i/c Netball and Head of Co-curriculum commented: “The OP netball match was a wonderful event for both current and former students to come together and enjoy the game with some friendly competition going on too! The standard on display from both teams was the best yet and we're already looking forward to next year's event. The OPs continued their upward trajectory to go ahead 30-26 at the end of the third quarter but in an exciting final-quarter finale, the School snatched victory to win the match 43-36. The School took an early lead 8-5 in the first quarter but the OPs came back in the second to make it level pegging at half-time, 16-16. The OPs fielded a strong side which tested the School in a closely fought and fast-paced encounter. The morning started with the OP v School netball match at 9.15am. With staggered start times to give the ladies the option of playing both netball and hockey, the event was well attended by players and spectators alike. It was great to see this sporting fixture back in the OP calendar for the first time in two years.
