Apr 10 2006 II Emma In action!
Hey! Really quick update =) err… got math next:(
Harry Potter star Emma Watson swapped her broomstick for a hockey stick to take part in Oxford’s first International Young Women’s Hockey Festival at the weekend.
The 15-year-old plays Hermione Granger in the series of movies based on JK Rowling’s bestselling books about the young wizard, and attends Headington School.
She took part in the festival as a member of the Rover Sports Oxford hockey team, which, along with City of Oxford and West Witney, faced players from Oxford’s twin cities of Leiden, in Holland, and Bonn, in Germany.
The matches were played at the new Oxford University Sports Centre, in Jackdaw Lane, off Iffley Road. The girls also enjoyed a disco, ice-skating and a reception hosted by Jim Campbell, the Sheriff of Oxford, at the Town Hall.
One of the organisers, Oxford City Council’s international officer May Wylie, said: “We have been looking at hosting more events and thought hockey was a great sport we could focus on. All of the girls stayed with local host families.
