Squanderers’ Varsity hockey match

Today I went to Cambridge to watch the Cambridge Squanderers play hockey against Oxford. I don’t really know much about hockey,but I had a vested interest because my brother Oliver was the captain, wearing number 33.

I took loads of photos, and here are the best. You can click for larger versions, or if you are a Cantabrigian and want a full-size copy of any of these photos (e.g. for printing), please hover over the picture to find its number and leave a comment at the bottom of this post 🙂

So here we see the Squanderers having a pre-match team talk.

Even after watching 70 minutes of hockey, I still don’t have much of a grasp of the rules, so I shall refrain from commenting on these pictures of the match. If you know more than I do, feel free to comment at the bottom.

As it turns out, Oxford won by two goals to nil but I thought the teams were pretty evenly matched and that it was an excellent game. Here the Squanderers jog round the pitch after the game, to much applause from the crowd.
