EHA MENS VASE SEMI-FINAL

Thanks to all those that have supported the Men's 1st XI this season, we were unfortunately beaten in the Semi-Final 3-1 by Eastbourne who proved to be a very strong side. The team played exceptionally well and everyone gave their all, producing a great hockey match to watch. I am sure that all there had a good day.

In particular I would like to thank all those that came to support the team, and that have done so much during the season to spur us on, and the team themselves, including all those that played throughout the season to make the cup side as enjoyable to play in and as successful as it was!

The open day on Saturday was a success, with several new players coming down, juniors and seniors. In the afternoon, we had a net on the square, which gave everyone a chance to have a bat and bowl and get rid of the winter cobwebs. The first matches are this weekend: if you want to be selected, please give your availability to one of the captains (see below). And, if you're not available this weekend, please let us know when you are.

CLUB SUPPER

Club Supper went off with its usual dancing, drinking and celebrating last Saturday and I think I can safely say a good time was had by all! I would just like to say a big thank you to Warren Scott, Adam Laubser, Tony Hewston, John Finch, Andy Saunders, Sean Cremin, Annie Brothwell, Catherine Watson, Fay Rider, Sarah Wood and Mike Burge for selling the tickets for me, it made organising the event a whole lot easier!! Thanks also to Helen Kitto for helping with the decorations. Finally, a further thank you to Catherine Watson for single handedly sorting out this year's raffle and to Sara Daughtrey and Cathy Stewart for selling tickets on the night.
