The Mens 1’s had spent the last 7 days doing some soul searching following their first defeat in 3 years to local rivals Leeds 3’s last weekend and were raring to go against another North East side in the shape of Marton Furness. None more so that Jimmy Mayhew who was playing against his home club and was delighted to show his current teammates that he had other ‘Hockey Friends’. Adel welcomed the return of Read more
For the first time in many years, Adel turned out 11 senior sides on the same day with the newly formed mens 6th team making their league debuts in Division 5 South West (in effect taking over a vacant place created by Leeds Adel 5s who moved to Div 5 North last summer to reduce travelling!).

The Adel Men’s 2s Hockey Club 1st XI did not know what to Read more
We were expecting a tough game against an experienced Harrogate side who got promoted with us last season. The game started with a high intensity as both team’s game plans became clear, Adel pressing high and moving the ball at pace. Harrogate going over the top and using “their lovely hands” (Dan Madden, 2018) to cause problems in the final third. Harrogate took the lead after good work down the right with Jack unlucky to Read more
