Hockey club gear up for new season
WITH the hockey season fast approaching, Newport have being honing their skills by playing some practise games.
The first involved players from the local clubs Newport HC and 'Chicks with Stix' forming 2 mixed teams.
The very enjoyable game at Harper Adams started at 8.00pm finishing under floodlights with the team wearing colours coming out winners 5-2.
Goals were scored by Matt, Simon, Martin(2), Charlotte with Fred and Sophie for the whites. The support and encouragement from the umpires, and experienced players provided the opportunity to improve skills, vary tactics and try different positions.
Due to popular demand the next mixed fixture will take place at the same venue on July 19th. Next Wednesday, June 28, Newport HC play a side from Bridgnorth at Harper.
On Sunday, July 16 the annual Kath Thomas Memorial Tournament takes place at Lilleshall, with proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Newport are planning to enter sides in the Northern Fathom and Over 50s Leagues. Those interested in joining please contact Gordon on 07759 114571.
