It turned out to be a great night for Whitchurch U13’s as they picked up the U13’s Central Venue League Playoff trophy.

Individual honours went to Aaron Swain and Hebe Dixon who were awarded  Players’ Player and Jake Wood who was awarded Coaches Player of the Season.

Well done to all!

Summer badgers league

The Summer Badgers League for U15s has arrived, and we have entered a Boys team (Whitchurch A) and a Girls team (Whitchurch B), following the success of the girls U15s during the season and their appetite for more junior hockey games.  The format for Badgers is that sides can play up to two senior players in order to give structure and guidance on the pitch.
