Oliver Clarke

Oliver Clarke is a third year Van Mildert College student doing a Sports degree. The twenty year old is also the proud captain of Durham University Hockey 1st XI, who were runners up in last years British Universities’ Championship and are currently top of the British Universities Northern League. Here is what he had to say:

“I really wanted to be captain this year and I am grateful to the rest of team for the support they have given me. I might not have the most dominant voice in the side, but I try to play as a captain: I play as well as I can and in this way I express how I want the team to perform.”

“The University Hockey Club benefits from a high quality training system here. In particular I am enjoying working with head coach Gavin Featherstone. He is making me think about the game in ways I have never really thought about it before…and this has helped the way I guide the team.”

“Our main aim is to win the BUCS Championship this year, but it will take pure grit; if we continue to combine our work ethic and skill, then we should have a very good chance.”
