Hockey in Norwich is on the up at the moment with Norwich Dragons having recently started work on the construction of two new astroturf hockey pitches on the Hewett School field. Coaches from the club have also been working with local Primary schools within the Hewett School cluster to help introduce and develop hockey.

Hazel Medler of Norwich Dragons Hockey Club said;

"I am really pleased and proud that two of the schools that we have been working with made the final today. It was such an exciting final and I look forward to watching some of the pupils grow up as members of our club"
