Junior Boys

We have an flourishing Junior Section with coaching and competition for both boys and girls for all age groups from 6 to 18.

Junior hockey has been developed by the clubs over the last thirty years until, at the present-day, the Club provides coaching, training and competitive hockey for both boys and girls at all age groups between 6 and 18.

Several Inter-Club tournaments are arranged during the season for the younger age groups; Under 7s to Under 12s.

The Under 14 to Under 18 Girls play in the South Girls Leagues - Sunday matches.

Similarly, the Under 14 to Under 18 boys play in the Mercian Home Counties Colts League - Sunday matches.

The Club also runs Men's & Ladies "Badgers" sides. These sides play occasional Saturday matches in Bucks Leagues. The teams comprise 4 seniors and 7 juniors. The aim being; to provide an introduction for junior players to senior hockey.

The Academy to be run on Thursday evenings at Halton is an innovative move by the Club to help talented young players develop their skills and attitudes to assist them to develop as hockey players and to help them gain representational recognition or move into senior hockey.

U13 County Cup - Boys

A young Aylesbury side faced some tough opposition in this year's County Cup tournament at Cressex on Sunday 15th March 2009. Aylesbury played well but just didn't have the strength in depth to do themselves justice. They lost convincingly to Dr Chaloner's school but, all the other games were draws or narrow defeats. Against both Milton Keynes B and Gerrards Cross Aylesbury took the lead with goals from Jack Rolfe and Chris McIntyre and were unfortunate to concede a goal to each of them late in the play.

The highlight of the day was the final game against joint favourites and eventual tournament winners Marlow. Knowing it would be a tough game, the defence was strengthened up pulling Charlie Fowler back to support Josh Penn and Robert Humpston. All of the boys played exceptionally well and, despite facing a number of short corners and almost relentless attack, they managed to keep the score down to just a 1 goal deficit. Keeper Jack Nord earned applause from the spectators as he was forced to make some spectacular saves including stretching to tip it over the crossbar and taking a shot to the head.

Teamsheet: Jack Nord, Charlie Fowler, Robert Humpston, Jack Rolfe, Josh Penn, Chris McIntyre, Thomas Richards, Charlie Shipperley, Jacques Tasker, Dominic Whaler.
