Students release their grip on Trophy

On a sunny day at the UEA Sportspark, Norwich Dragons Hockey Club managed to wrestle the annual UEA-Dragons trophy from the students today.

Heading into this year’s event, Norwich Dragons had only managed one previous win in 5 attempts, however, thanks to a clean sweep by the two ladies teams and a win for the Men’s 2s/3s team, the trophy will spend the next year at the Dragons’ Den.

The most important feature of this event is that games are played in the right sporting spirit and that the Dragons and UEA Hockey teams enjoy teas and socialising in the Student Bar afterwards. Based on the social media messages flying around this afternoon, this has definitely been achieved!!

Photos from the event can be found here.
