Four RGS pupils playing for Wycombe Hockey Club , Ben Reeves, Dan Maunder, Will Needham and Josh Mardell, were part of the Wycombe U18 Boys team which defended its National Indoor title at the weekend. Wearing brand new kit supplied by their sponsor GPL Projects Ltd, they won their first pool game against Harleston Magpies comfortably,6-1.
The second match, against National League Club Beeston, was far more dramatic. It took a moment of brilliance from the captain to finally overturn the 0-3 half-time score in the closing moments of the game.
On the Sunday morning Wycombe confirmed their place in the semi-finals with a hard fought draw against Taunton Vale, again coming from behind to draw 2-2.
An excellent Havant team full of England players stood between Wycombe and the title. The team raised their game yet again, getting the better of their opponents and as a result Havant failed to threaten with the ever present Dan Maunder imperious in defence.
The final was to be decided by penalty flicks. In all the tension, Mardell stepped up to score, and it was left to Goalie Ben Reeves, the youngest player in Wycombe’s squad, to seal victory with a great save. Wycombe were National Indoor Champions AGAIN!
