U16 Boys
The U16 Boys go to Reading Hockey Club on 4th April in a bid to secure a place at the Mercian League Finals Day on 29th April. The game is due to start at 7pm and your support would be welcome.
On Saturday the boys will be travelling to Nottingham for the weekend to compete in the England Hockey Tier 1 Championships having reached the last 8. Once again your support would be appreciated.
U14 Boys
Not to be out done by the U16s the U14 boys are off to Wimbledon on Sunday to contest the semi-final of the Mercian League. If they win they will secure a spot on finals day which is to be held here at Luxborough Lane. As the away team the boys will need to wear the away strip of yellow but it would appear the shirts have gone missing! If they can be returned by Thursday evening it would be very much appreciated. Alternatively if anyone has a set of yellow shirts they are willing to loan to the boys that would be great.
U18 Girls
The U18 girls will be fighting for a place in the England Hockey Tier 2 Championship finals on Sunday against Bath Buccaneers. Supporters welcome!
