The annual OH vs School lacrosse match took place on Saturday 7 September on a lovely, warm afternoon on the Girls school field. The OH players ranged from members of the Class of 2016 to the Class of 2024. Some play lacrosse at university whilst others haven't picked up a lacrosse stick in years, however they all had enthusiasm in spades, and the competitive spirit shone through.  

The greater fitness levels of the students became apparent as the match progressed and there were murmurings of, 'did we use to be this quick?'  

There were a small number of supporters but they represented just about every member of the Habs community; the Headmistress Dr Bagworth-Mann, former and current parents, siblings from Habs Boys and Girls, former and current teachers who are also Habs parents, Amy Ansell (OH 2000) who has coached many of the players through her sports company New Stars Sports, recent leavers Ashley Fawn and Lily Hamilton (OH 2024) who had to support from the sidelines - Lily due to injury and Ashley as she was on mandatory rest from the England U20 squad.

There was a great atmosphere and everyone had a lot of fun. The score at the end was.....11:8 to the school team. 

Big thanks go to Lizzie Wright, Habs lacrosse teacher, for organising this fixture every year.  If you'd like to take part, please contact Shalaka in the Alumnae Office on foundation@habselstree.org.uk
