Camp Retro created history at Bretton Gate over the weekend.

The all-star mixed hockey team won the popular Brummitt Trophy competition for the sixth time in a row, beating the record five successive victories for the outstanding Bretton Beavers team of the 1980s.

Camp Retro’s domination is such they’ve not only won the event every single time they’ve entered it, but they’ve never lost a match. There’s only one draw from six years ago to spoil an otherwise perfect record.

Regular foes Ragamuffins provided the final opposition this year and p ut up a sturdy fight before succumbing 2-0 to a brilliant reverse stick strike from Chris Porter and a lovely team goal finished off by Alice Little.

Ragamuffins did force the only two penalty corners the champions conceded in seven matches, but, despite the pres ence of several City of Peterborough first-team players, they rarely looked like scoring.

Camp Retro’s dominance is helped by several top players from Women’s National League side Oxted.

Delta won the Plate competition final 5-0 over Kettering Skymoons with goals from Tom Seaton, Dougie Patterson, Jemima Dodd, Jacob Hings and Charlotte Sethna.

The Jack Rose fairplay trophy was won by More Misfits, while, by common consent, Sue McNaughton of Jurassic Beavers scored the best goal of the weekend-long competition.
