1st XI Hockey Team Win Against Old Stamfordian Team
On Thursday 31 August, we had the pleasure of welcoming back 19 Old Stamfordians for a special hockey match event that brought together past and present generations of OS. As part of pre-season preparations for the the 1st XI hockey team, they played against the alumni team.
The closely fought match concluded with a 2-1 victory for the school team, although at 1-1 the OS team had chances to score that could have changed the game. and certainly added to the excitement. However, the match was more about the sense of camaraderie and nostalgia rather than the final score, and the OS team was all smiles at the end of the match, if a little red in the face!
The match was a testament to the enduring connection many of our Old Stamfordians have with Stamford. The leaving years of the team spanned from 1993 to 2023 and was the first time that this particular team had played together, making the score line even more respectable!
With close to 100 people, including the players, enjoying a free hog roast courtesy of the Old Girls' Guild, the weather didn't dampen the evening, and we look forward to enjoying more OS fixtures in the future.
