HOLLAND 2019
Here is to this group of outstanding young men! They worked their socks off on the field and were an absolute delight off it. Polite, courteous, funny and supported each other throughout. So proud of what they have achieved! To all 35, Thank you! WHAT A TOUR!!!
Huge thanks go to these 3! Mr Giles, Mr King & Miss Richard have made this trip what it has been. From Incredible coaching, medical care, passport collection, daily organisation & above all being great company, thank you for a great trip! We have all loved it!

@Larenmhc
stunning goals from Jagger, Bush, Slatter & Hutchings....sneaky rumor the Juniors have nicked a late winner in a 4-3 win.!!!
The boys 1st team capped a memorable week by beating a very good
@TrinityHockey1
team 3-1. 2 goals from Sleddon and another from Egan secured the win. Huge week for the boys and for the school. 🏆🔥
Bitter sweet evening. A 5-1 win for the 1st team, but a sad farewell to 7 boys I’ve worked with for 9 years, since they first ever picked up a stick. They leave the school with a strong legacy to remember them by and we wish them all well.
Excellent performance under the lights at Reigate. 2-1 win for a young and improving 1st XI. Great follow up to the brilliant u12 games earlier! Thanks for the hospitality

Manager, Jeff, to the laundromat with 140 socks, 35 shorts and 70 shirts to wash by 6pm......👍👍👍
Many thanks to Cranbrook for a good block today. We had the better of the results, but that’s not exactly what was important. It was wonderful to see students from both schools play hard in what could be their final competitive sport for some time. Well done all!
@ElthamHead
U18’s win 6-2 after a narrow 1st half, u16’s win on shuffles after a very entertaining 0-0 draw….end to end. Great start, fantastic hospitality as always! We really love it here in Ho(ckey)lland!
@ElthamSport
Regional quarter finalists. But sadly that’s where it ends! Fantastic effort from the boys and very proud. Many thanks to the parents for their support (& Coffee)! Fantastic day!
7.30am street yoga with Mr Merrett, music kindly sponsored by record label Egan-Jones Inc. Breakfast and off go Amsterdam to see the Ajax arena!
@ElthamSport
Proud day! A draw a loss does not say Win, but we did not come out here to wipe the floor, we came out to learn and that we did! Boys were a credit to them selves, the school and their parents once more! Super day!
#holland2019
Seniors follow the Juniors with a WIN! 0-1 at Half time saw the boys bounce back to win 3-1 in a very high tempo game. Goals from Rogers, Taylor (on his 17th Birthday) and a debut goal for year 9 Jamie! Great day!!!

3-1 win for the seniors to close out the tour. Bushy with all 3!!! Boys were magnificent and played at a pace that didn’t suggest they had played the previous 3 days.

At the end of the day, one where we were looked after so beautifully by Eemvellei HC, we had 2 superb games and our hosts joined our boys for a classic……the joy, the fun and the mutual respect between the groups was just wonderful to see! This is just brilliant!
@ElthamSport
Seniors: a pulsating game of end to end hockey that never let up. 2-0 up. 3-1 up, 5-2 up...5-5...both sides could have scored 10...Joe B in goal was out of this world, class. Ash found his scoring boots with 3 and Jemieson & Cam got on the score sheet again. Wonderful match!!
WHAT A GAME! 1-0 down, 2-1 up, 3-2 down with a last minute equaliser from Blue! Thank you so much to
@AlleynsSport
for one of the most enjoyable, high quality, 1st XI games for some time! Looking forward to the rest of the block tomorrow!
What a superb debut from our new director of sport Mr Edwards. Coaching these wonderful under 13 girls to the final of the county plate. They’ve come a long way since picking up a stick for the first time this time last year. Well done girls 🔥
Exceptionally proud of this group of young men! They have played exceptionally at times and have been a credit to the school! Many congrats and thanks to Jack, Alex, Josh, Alex and Charlie who complete their Eltham Hockey careers today! A superb season! Well done!
Incredible 24 hours in Holland to set up the October Hockey Tour for years 8/9/10/11 & 12. Incredible facilities at Kampong HC, Den Bosch HC & Laren HC. Each with 5+ Astro’s. Met with opposition Coaches to arrange fixtures & hospitality. This will be some tour!
@TEAM_Sports_TDM
Fantastic evening! U16’s 0-3 in a really competitive game! U18’s were simply exceptional in a 4-2 win, please enjoy goals from Cam & Ollie! What a day!!

This is the 1st daily coaching video from Eltham College. It’s a simple task to see how many Indian dribbles you can do in one minute. Post your replies with your scores so we can see how you did. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

@ElthamHead
Well…
We couldn’t lose, & with 3 mins to go we were 2-0 down. Having taken off our Keeper, we got back to 2-1 with a minute left through a Fin F goal & then, & then…
On the final whistle, Xavier T was right place right time! 2-2, National Final here we come!
@ElthamSport
Our 1st team continues to grow and impress. The work rate, skill level, discipline and ambition is simply incredible. This is a very talented group of boys and Eltham College can be very proud of the way they have represented the school.
Eltham 1st team players Blue, Ludo and Ollie are all part of the Kent U17s, still undefeated in SE Champanionships with only one more county to go. Good luck boys, we are proud of all 3 of you.
Here we go then. Super Wednesday! 3 sides at Kent finals day today. Best of luck to the 46 Eltham College students hoping to bring home the gold. Play well everyone!!

As Mr Thorogood said when he sent me this picture. THIS is what a TEAM does. It protects, respects and stands by its members. Huge respect to each and every single one of them. Thoughts and prayers to Christian Eriksen 🙏
6am and what a time to get the term started! Norwich here we come! 6 games in 2 days to get ourselves in tune for the season ahead! Plenty of news coming your way in the next 36 hours!
Juniors: fantastic game. Lost 4-3, 3-3 right up to the end. A tough, technical encounter with the boys raising their game. Goals from Adamson, McCarthy and Caldwell (TBC). Plenty of valuable lessons. Superb game!
Congratulations to our year 7 girls who came 2nd in the Kent plate final. Goalkeeper Karomen was voted player of the tournament. Very proud of our first ever year 7 girls team.
Exciting few days for EC hockey as u11, U13, u14, u16 and U18 all play in Kent finals competitions! Wishing everyone the very best of luck!
