This year our annual Alumni Sport Matches will be taking place in December, instead of March. We are looking forward to welcoming our Old Patesians back to Pate's on Wednesday 16th December 2026 to take part in the Alumni netball, hockey and football matches against the Pate's First Teams. 

All age groups are welcome to play, former members of staff are welcome to referee and spectators are always appreciated!

Boys can choose Hockey or Football or both

Tickets are priced at £5 per alumni player or spectator who would like to enjoy the post match refreshments. Tickets for alumni players or spectators not requiring food are free but must also be booked in advance - tickets available at the sign up button below.

During the booking process those wishing to play in a team will be asked to declare which team/s you wish to join and we will pass these details onto the PE Department to build their team sheets. If you have any queries about the booking process please email development@patesgs.org

If you're not already a member of Pate's Community we'd really encourage you to join - it's free and only takes a few minutes! Return to the Home page and click on the 'Join Us' button. Don't forget to upload a profile photo to make it easier for friends to re-connect with you!
