The team conceded heart-breaking last-minute goals in defeats to Sevenoaks (0-1) and Seaford (1-2), having lost to Harveys (0-3).
Hockey Coach and Collyer’s Head of Sports Academy, John Burroughs, said: “To play at this level is an achievement. On another day we would have qualified for the nationals, but we’re now totally inspired to build massively competitive sides for both the men’s and women’s teams next year. The building blocks are in place.”
