George McNeil:

• George McNeil (Year 13) has been a member of the First XI Boys' Hockey team since 2021 and has played most of the games over the last two seasons, gaining 50 caps for the team.

George supports other team members in defensive tasks and ensures they work well together. He is a dependable defender and can calmly secure and retain the ball even under tremendous pressure. His ability to find midfielders and attackers on the ball helps create numerous game-attacking chances. George has moved positions several times over the last two years and has quickly adapted to the change in requirements of each role. His eagerness to improve and develop has made him an integral part of the First XI Boys' Hockey team.
