Updates on training and HockeyFest due to Whitchurch pitch availability

Afternoon All. Unfortunately we received news yesterday that the pitch at Whitchurch has not been completed.

As a result ‘Section training’ tonight 18.30 to 20.00 will take place at Bishop Heber High School, Malpas. This is predominately for 1s and invited 2s.

We have had to cancel tomorrow evenings ‘Club training’ and ‘HockeyFest’ on Saturday and we are hoping to get onto the newly resurfaced pitch at Whitchurch next Wednesday.
