M4 vs Ross-on-Wye M2 Loss 0-1 MOM: Alex DOD: David P This week…A really good game in the sun. So, the last game at home (so good teas) a bit of a kuffle with pitches (moved the game to an earlier time) and good availability meant a strong team for a tough match. We welcomed back Alex who has recovered injury for a last game of the season. And a star appearance from Ian (M) Read more…
M4 vs Hereford M2 Loss 4-3 MOM: Mark DOD: Ollie This week…A really good game. Our last hurrah away and the furthest distance. Numbers were a little low (surprising hmmm?) But gathered a few oldies, Phil and Shane and returner, Mikey D. And no keeper, we seem to go from GK everywhere to none! So, the emergency glass was broken, and I did the duties in goal (always seem to play GK vs Hereford). It Read more…
M4 vs Evesham & Badsey M2 Draw 2-2 MOM: Joey DOD: All the non-shows for teas This week…better ( i.e. a slightly disappointing draw). It was a lovely day to play hockey. Sun was out, although bit on the chilly side and 13 in the team, including Tom A (tall Tom) who was returning from university for a starring role and we had Hayden umpiring (another returner from University) always great to see them and Read more…
M4 vs Gloucester M4 Loss 0-1 MOM: Alex DOD: The late boys Alex & Ollie This week…er slight case of deja vu ( i.e. a slightly disappointing loss). Another week and a ‘winable’ game where we can get a result, now some may have noticed that each time I state this we lose, hence why I have been banned from stating it. An early start in Gloucester for what we knew would be a close Read more…
M4 vs Newent M3 Loss 0-1 MOM: Alex DOD: Tobias This week…slightly disappointing loss. So, after the highs of a good performance vs 2nd in the league, I was confident that we can get a result at the bottom of league. I have now been banned from saying ‘we can get a result’. Newent have some availability issues this season so have had a few walkovers, but when they get a team together they get Read more…
M4 vs Cirencester M4 Loss 1-4 MOM: Ollie DOD: Tobias & Bill This week…Fantastic effort all round. Another tough game this week versus 2nd in the league and an opportunity to do better than the first game loss of 8-1 at the beginning of season. We had enough players, a full team of 16 so could put in lots of effort. So how to approach this, well the team talk was to play how we Read more…
Lansdown M2s 4-2 Wotton-under-edge M3s An early morning pushback on a cold Saturday morning got off to a good start when Henry realised he’d forgotten his shirt. Never fear! DPhil – ever the gent – donated his one and only shirt to Henry and then DPhil played in Tom Pinless’s sister’s shirt (thank you for the loan Sophia!). “That’s DotD sewn up for Henry” I thought to myself. Lansdown started the match on the front Read more…
M4 vs Lansdown M3 Loss 2-7 MOM: Raoul & Ollie DOD: Tom & Tobias This week…patchy in places, good generally occasionally very good. The sun was seen on Saturday, a rare sight this month and genuine warmth was felt on our backs as we warmed up – I say warmed up it’s more a catch up on how the week has gone. And our hope of some inter-club sweetness on Valentine’s day (not much hope Read more…
Another absence for el Capitan Vacher, so the helm falls to me once more. We go again. M4s have a checkered past against Cirencester 5s, so today’s late push back built suspense. Solid start from the off, high press on them and we gathered the ball. Raoul finds the back of the net with just 2 minutes on the clock. Ollie closely follows suit, 2-0 for us after 6 minutes. Finn Read more…
M4 vs Bourton & Sherborne M2 Dev Win 2-0 MOM: Tobias DOD: Mr Kim & billy blue shorts Jenkins This week…Another win! Yes, another win! That’s 100% for 2026 (so it’s only 2 games but still). It was grey day and not flooded in Bourton (but very damp) and we took a strong team with hopes high. And what a good game of hockey, it’s getting frequent that the team performs well and I can Read more…
