Enfield-Fermi Field Hockey Alumni to Do Battle Saturday

Fermi and Enfield high schools may be consolidated into one following the 2015-16 school year, but the four-decade rivalry between the two crosstown schools continues this weekend.

Alumni of the schools’ field hockey programs will return to the field at the Fermi stadium Saturday, Oct. 3 at 11 a.m. for the third annual matchup of former players.

Last year, nearly 30 alumni participated in a spirited game filled with camaraderie, friendship and more than a touch of still-burning competitive fire.

Players from all eras are invited to join the fun. In past years, a trophy has been awarded to the “most veteran” returnee.

Enfield alumni should wear green shirts, while former Fermi players should don white jerseys.
