Easter Hockey Tour to Barcelona

Over the Easter break, 21 students travelled to Barcelona for an exciting Hockey Tour, where they faced three highly regarded club sides that regularly compete in European competitions. 

The tour began with two closely contested matches against Castelldefels and Barcelona Hockey Club. Despite strong performances, the home sides edged both fixtures, as Lancing worked hard to settle into the pace and intensity of international opposition. 

By the third match against Atlètic Terrassa, the team had found their rhythm. In a thrilling encounter, Lancing secured a well-deserved 3-2 victory, showcasing their progress and determination. It was a fitting end to a memorable tour, highlighting the team’s resilience, development, and collective effort throughout. 

The tour provided many enriching moments outside of just the hockey itself, as the students emerged having experienced sport and culture overseas, whilst enjoying each other’s company and experiencing first-hand what it is like to be a touring sports team.
