Huge congratulations to our 1st XI boys hockey team – crowned 2025 Schools National Hockey Champions after a thrilling final at the Lee Valley stadium today, Friday 25th April.

The boys triumphed against a brilliant Charterhouse side, displaying exceptional skill, spirit and leadership all over the pitch to win the contest 5-1. They were cheered on by four coach loads of delighted MCS supporters, who had headed down to London to watch the match.

This is the fourth year in a row that an MCS team has appeared in the National finals and today’s success concludes the end of a stellar season for the 1st XI – who earlier in the year had been invited to play in the ‘curtain-raiser’ at the Oxford versus Cambridge Varsity Match. They celebrate alongside the U16A, U14A and U12A teams, which have also enjoyed success this season – the latter two winning the Oxfordshire County Cup in their categories, with the U12As also being crowned Southern Champions.

Thank you to Charterhouse – the toughest and most sporting of opponents – and to everyone at Lee Valley for making this a really special day. Well done boys and MCS Hockey!
