Turkeys claim glory in Shipston High School's Tinsel Tournament

MORE than 70 students took part in Shipston High School’s Tinsel Tourmanent last month.

An evening of hockey saw teams appropriately named for the festive period — Angels, Baubles, Elves, Puddings, Reindeers and Turkeys.

All games proved to be tight, with the eventual winner being the Turkeys. Prizes were also awarded for the best festive outfit and the winners were George Turner and Freddie Clemons.

PE teacher, Sarah Davies, said: “Each year group have enjoyed fixtures against a range of local schools with more scheduled in the spring term.

“Recent successes include year 11 finishing South Warwickshire tournament runners-up and the year nine team finishing third in the area.

“The students have displayed great commitment to the sport and their hard work is being rewarded. Hopefully hockey will continue to be a great strength at Shipston High.”
