Adel Men’s 1’s returned after an extended Christmas break with a tricky away trip to the delightful seaside town of Grimsby.

With less than 48 hours before Santa’s arrival, the mens 5th team were poised and ready to begin their Christmas shopping. But then somebody organised a friendly “Dads, Lads & Lasses” hockey match, and all hopes of spending a pleasant Saturday afternoon in the queue at Primark had to be abandoned. Duty calls.
