On Saturday 6 May the London Wayfarers Junior Awards 2017 were handed out at the end of an amazing LWOD2017 end of season event at Lee Valley, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
All the Junior Awards were announced by junior section captain Jonathan Stubbs with the awards, trophies and medals being presented by our Guest of Honour Hannah Macleod, Rio 2016 Olympic gold medalist and London Wayfarers Hockey Club chairman Marcel van Eldik.
Congratulations to all of our winners, but also to everyone who didn’t win an award. Hockey is a team sport and it is the strong teams that ultimately succeed as the GB Women showed last year at the Rio 2016 Olympics. It was a fantastic season for our Junior section. If you were not at London Wayfarers Olympic Day 2017 we will arrange for your award to reach you.
