Huge congratulations to our very own "Bridger" who won the prestigious England Hockey Official of the Year 2020 on 5 June 2020.
Bridger has made a massive contribution to Umpiring in our club and continues to inspire and develop new generations of Umpires to benefit not only our club but also the wider hockey family.
You can see the short video of Mark Gleghorne announcing the result here.
Bridger posted a thank-you message on facebook which you can see here.
Following on from the Covid-19 impacts on our hockey this season, the mens and womens leagues have now published the final league tables. You can also find details on this website by searching for "previous league tables"
Many thanks to the Newent Daffodil Lodge of Freemasons. Newent Hockey Club were very pleased to receive funding from the Lodge to purchase sets of small goals for broadening the opportunities for playing hockey in the local area.
For most of the 2019/20 season we have been getting 40 plus juniors regularly to training on a Tuesday evening at the Newent School pitch.
The money we received has gone towards purchasing mini portable goals so that small sided games are possible for the children to gain experience and skills in a game situation. We also purchased sets of goals suitable for Walking Hockey which is proving increasingly popular for introducing the game to adults and to allow older players to continue playing in a friendly sociable environment.
We would like to express our grateful thanks to Newent Runners who have kindly awarded us a generous grant of £300. This will really help us in our quest to develop young hockey players. We will be using the money to help provide equipment for our junior goalkeepers.
Particular thanks go to Helen Kelly (Chair of Newent Runners). You can find out more about Newent Runners on their website or facebook page.
Many thanks to all our sponsors...
