Premier Financial Management based in Marlow was the event’s main sponsor with many other local businesses either sponsoring holes or supporting the raffle with Hawkinsport sponsoring all the trophies.

Nathan Monk, Director of Hockey at Borlase said: “Without Marlow Sports Club, the school wouldn’t be able to provide the vast range of sporting opportunities that we can currently offer our students.

“Around 500 students use the facilities on a weekly basis, 300 of those are members of Borlase Hockey.
