Hannah Martin and the England Hockey Team Take Gold!

Joy at the Commonwealth Games!

We were on the edge of our seats as England kept back the Australian side in the last minutes of the game to secure a win beating Australia 2-1 at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham! 

There was jubilation at the first goal from Holly Hunter then again when Tess Howard scored the second.

Australia clawed back a goal in the final quarter of the game but England's defence kept them away from equalising going on to secure a historic gold for the team.  

Our very own Hannah Martin (OI 1998-13) scored the penalty in the semi-final to secure the teams place in the final, an amazing moment to see.

Congratulations!!
