01/09/18 – HockeyFest

On Saturday 1st September 2018 we held HockeyFest at Whitchurch Hockey Club.

We held what has become our annual start of the season intra-club tournament which was well attended and got the club fired up for a busy September.

Senior training continues to run Wednesday night 19.30 to 21.00.

Saturday 8th September sees the hockey start:

  • Academy for 6 to 13 years starts from 10.00 to 11.30.
  • BacktoHockey starts from 10.00 to 11.30. The sessions are for those who have never played hockey or want to get back into the sport after time out. Sticks can be provided but you will need to bring shin pads.
  • The ladies 1s play their 1st league game of the season starting at 12.00 at home.
