LADIES’ SPORT Rep: Grace Gilbert (née Robinson) (K, 2005-2010) What did you most enjoy during your time at Teddies? How much sport we got to play and how much free time we got to enjoy (if only one still got that much free time!) What do you do as the Rep for Ladies’ Sport? I organise any Ladies’ sports for the Martyrs, but predominantly hockey, because that’s where the previous demand has been (and also what historically we have focused on). What events do you get involved in? Generally, the Ladies always participate in the DC Sixes, a six-a-side tournament hosted and organised by Dean Close School in Cheltenham.

We have a Facebook page and WhatsApp group. Join Alumnet to find out more.

run a “Sunday Funday” six-a-side hockey tournament at Battersea Park in SW London, raising three mixed OSE teams. What standard do you need to be to get involved? Any level! We typically have some very talented players (who still play league hockey, hence why events tend to be on Sundays), but we are really welcoming and encourage anyone to get involved regardless of ability. Kit is provided – it is women-specific (proving we aren’t forgotten about) and it is in the classic Rhubarb colours!
