Cambridge College Hockey Newnham Sits Sticks Ties Trophy
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Newnham College, Cambridge ladies hockey team in 1904. The team, dressed in their smart white blouses and matching ties, exudes a sense of determination and camaraderie. At the heart of the image is their captain, proudly holding aloft a gleaming trophy, her expression a blend of triumph and satisfaction. The team members, each with their hockey sticks at the ready, surround her, their focused gazes fixed on the camera. Newnham College, one of the six all-women's colleges in the University of Cambridge, has a rich history in women's sports. Hockey, in particular, has been a favourite pastime for the students since the late 19th century. The team's success in 1904 is evident from the trophy the captain holds, a testament to their hard work and dedication. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of these young women and their love for the game. The team's uniform, with its high collars and ties, is a reminder of the era's sartorial traditions. The setting, with its lush green grass and clear blue sky, adds to the idyllic scene. This photograph is not only a celebration of the Newnham College ladies hockey team's achievements but also a reminder of the importance of sports in the lives of women, even in the early 20th century. It is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of women, both then and now, to pursue their passions and excel in their chosen fields.
