Its a 1-2-3 this week; the first time we have won consecutive matches, the second week we have scored 3 goals and the third win of the season. Too conveluted? Try Goal 1 Callum Chadwick, Goal 2 Owen Morgans and Goal 3 Tom Norrington. Readers will know how this goes now! Hair Bear would be delighted with our progress, this win saw us progress from the botton and up two places in the league, it Read more…

Back in December I wrote about how my ex geography teacher always wanted to see progress. Well “Hair Bear”, for that was his nickname would be as chuffed with our progress as I am. Last time round Beacon scored 2 against us, they did yesterday, but where we had no response last time, we outscored them yesterday putting 3 past them for the win. We should have been 3-1 but for a strange first goa;l Read more…

To paraphrase Olivia Newton John we need to get clinical, clinical. The score somewhat complements Nuneaton who took their chances clinically; two good reverse stick shots and a two on one penalty spot goal plus one more the writer cannot quite recall. Meantime we spent an age in their half and in their D, to no avail. To be fair their keeper kept them in the game on severall occasions and it was one of Read more…

Let’s start with the positives, we were on balance the better team, we created more chances, 8 or more shorts v their one but we failed to tuck most of ours away. We were also creating chances from open play. They scored from 2 breakaways, kicking the ball in our D in the process of scoring their second. So the goal against was unlucky in that respect but disappointing in that it came within a Read more…

We had a Geography teacher at my school, I can’t remember his name, but his nickname was “hair bear” (big hair was big in the 70s). Hair Bear also taught sport including a bit of Hockey; what Hair Bear always wanted from us was “progress”and I guess that sums up our philosophy in the 5s, we are simply making progress. So while we lost yesterday it was the first game in our return legs and Read more…

First win of the season for the 4s and in what style? A quick start saw us 2-0 up in quick order, we added a third before they scored, not to be outdone we added a fourth before half time. Game over I hear you say, but no Stratford reorganised and scored straight after the break, they followed that up with a third for 4-3. But the Hampton boys sorted themselves out, won a short Read more…

I have been saying for ages there is a goal for us out there, I was wrong there were 5, yes 5 (I know) and better still Barford only scored 1. A change of captains as Chris went to keep for the 4s (6-3 Win so that was OK) and Ian coming to the 5s seemed to help both sides. Jeremmy Horgan started the goal fest and added another, Owen Morgans with a trickler and Read more…

Another cracking game played in great spirit. we won on every count except goals. They started well bu we worked out way into the game and were soon feeling the influence of JD playing his first game since returning to hockey and we started to create chances in open play and to win short corners. But they scored a break away goal, well taken by their striker. It was pretty much ditto in the econd Read more…
