Following trials at Wrekin College in Telford, Collyer’s student Poppy Woods has been selected for the England Women’s colleges hockey squad, while Harry Bubb and Ben Humphreys have been called up to the England Men’s side.

Collyer’s Head of Sports Academy and Hockey Coach John Burroughs was thrilled: “Poppy, Ben and Harry’s England Association of Colleges’ selections are richly deserved. When you mix off-the-scale talent with sheer hard work, this is what happens!”

Forthcoming matches in the January-July series will include England taking on British Universities, Wales, and Scotland.
