University of Warwick Mens Hockey Club

Over the Easter Holiday, 18 magnificent men jetted off to the Italian resort of Rimini to play some hockey and to unwind after a long, hard season. The squad worked hard on and off the pitch and were not surprisingly crowned European Champions following an epic win against Liverpool Hope in the final. Despite the vast majority of the crowd spurring on the opposition Harry Wilson was able to ignore the pressure to slot home the all-important goal. Alf Heath led his men magnificently throughout the week and the trophy ceremony was a moment that was cherished by all. The tour party also enjoyed four superb nights and even found time to fit in the much anticipated beach cricket event, with Alex Evans and Ben Boss deserving special mentions for their performance with bat and ball. Tour Sec Jonathan Butcher managed to predict the Icelandic volcanic eruption and intelligently arranged for bus transport months in advance of the trip, ensuring that all tourists returned home safely to the UK.
