There was trophy joy at Blueharts Hockey Club in an action-packed weekend.
The juniors were at the Hertfordshire County Tournaments with the U10 boys' A-team winning the title and qualifying for the regional championship along with Hertford.
The girls missed out on qualifying by goal difference in a three-way tie for second place.

The U12 boys also qualified for regionals after a tense wait to see if they had won enough games to go through.
They won four and drew one of the seven games played, just enough to finish second.
The girls had a tough start to the tournament against the top two teams but grew into the competition, winning the final match.

They drew 5-5 with goals from Jason Trickett (two), Daniel Fair, Jay Livermore and James Byford, enough to book their passage.
