The Sunday 1st XI entertained Windsor in an exciting MASL match. We batted first on a rain-affected pitch and did well to make 187 all out in 39.4 overs, with Tahir Rashid (46), Justin Weller (46) and Shahid Din (30) making the major contributions. Windsor started well in reply and reached 84-1 after 18 overs, but tight bowling from Zamir Khan and Tahir Rashid slowed the run-rate and a fine spell from Saqib Ahmed (3-22) turned the match our way as Windsor finished on 175-9 in 40 overs. So, victory for Chalfont by 12 runs.

NEW CHAIR FOR COACHING COMMITTEE, SEPTEMBER 2005

Tony Eaude succeeds Lyn Goodliffe as Chair of the National Coaching Committee from September 2005. England Hockey is grateful to Lyn Goodliffe for her vision and leadership through a difficult time to take Hockey to be one of the sports at the forefront of implementing the UKCC (United Kingdom Coaching Certificate).

Lyn and Tony were founding members of a Task Force brought together by Anne Baker in early 2002 when hockey was in crisis. These willing volunteers gave their time to help Hockey reorganise the Coach Awards structure and put tutor and assessor training in place. This set the solid foundation from which Hockey has been able to become one of the leaders in the UKCC initiative. This group then recruited further members and became an official Coaching Committee of England Hockey in September 2003 once the new Association had been confirmed.

Lyn's experience as a scUK National Trainer has enabled Hockey to prepare the way for tutor and assessor training and hockey has been delivering this standardisation to the volunteer workforce for the last 3 years. Tony has been involved heavily with forward planning and budgeting for the Coaching Committee, his clear strategic thinking has been invaluable to the group.

Tony has spent most of his hockey life with Amersham Hockey Club, now Amersham and Chalfont, as a player, coach and administrator. His particular coaching interest is in introducing young players to the game, reflecting his professional life as a primary school teacher and headteacher. He now works as an educational consultant. Tony has also been President of Buckinghamshire CHA and a member of the county committee for many years, and is on South Council as Chair of the South Development Committee.

Two other new members join the Committee in September 2005, Mark Scarth, a scUK Coach Development Officer with vast tutoring and mentoring experience (formerly the Oxford Activator) and Steve Hardy an experienced teacher, tutor and assessor. England Hockey is grateful to Alwyn Twigg who steps down from the committee but is continuing to share his experience in coach education as a lead External Verifier for 1st 4 Sport and an experienced level 3 coach assessor.
