Blooming marvellous

Self-styled “goal machine” (in your dreams mate) Andy Hedge writes this week’s 5th team match report: Having spent most of the last 24 hours failing to come up with film puns for the match report I have given up and decided to write a more mundane review. It was great to see the continuing blossoming of the Men’s 5th XI in the 2-2 draw with Rotherham and to receive the showering of compliments from the Read more…

Lindum match report

The Men’s 1st team woke up on a crisp Saturday morning in what could be a significant day in the promotion race from Yorkshire Prem, with Bradford away at Hull and a bare Adel 11 (12 including the illustrious coach!) for our trip to Lindum. The cold snap helped us with Paul Lewis able to swap coaching duties with playing duties with the cancellation of all home games pushing us up to a more comfortable Read more…

Men’s 3s – Episode VII: The Horse Awakens

Men’s 3s – Episode VII: The Horse Awakens By Jason Jones Our heroes are in a dark place – recuperating from a devastating draw to ancient enemies, Ben Rhydding; their numbers depleted due to key players being poached to fortify their own allies, the men’s 2s, and facing a new, daunting villain: Bradford 2s, pushing for promotion at second in the league, 4 points above the heroic Resistance in fourth.

Men’s 2s Maintain Promotion Push

Sheffield Hallam M5 2 – 3 Leeds Adel M2 After last week’s match report from one senior citizen it falls this week to an even more senior citizen to remember what happened.

The Phwoarce Awakens (Then falls asleep again towards the end.)

FOR THE FULL IMMERSIVE CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE, USE THIS URL: http://tokata.fr/star-words/?id=0j9l5hl  (Trust me, I’m a Jedi.) The inter-Adel Republic is caught in the throes of a bitter civil war. Under a blinding shroud of luminous orange, the evil forces of the not so mysterious Count Um Pyre Poll gather before the heroes of the republic’s fourth (mens) squadron led by Obi Ross Nichobi, determined to thwart their quest to restore justice (though perhaps not peace and Read more…

Leeds Adel HC 3 – 1 Kingston upon Hull HC

Nothing special. Just 3 points. With 11 wins from 11, the Mens 1s continued their run-in to the end of the season with the first of eight remaining games. Big Ben and the boys welcomed third place Kingston-upon-Hull to try and take points off them. Having conceded their only loss to them last season, Adel knew full well that this Hull team were one of the more dangerous sides in the league. Not wanting to Read more…
