Saturday was of course the 11th day of the 11th month and most teams (a team having 11 players of course) observed the 2 minutes silence in respect of all those who were lost in battle (during the wars rather than playing in Adel colours). The first game of the day at Adel saw a 1-1 draw (the 2 digits of the number 11) with the ladies 4s taking the lead midway through the second Read more
After bringing home 3 points from a long away trip to Lincoln last week, a home fixture versus title rivals Hallam was on the menu at Adel.

Many thanks to the geniuses at Yorkshire hockey HQ for reshuffling the league this season, so that everyone now spends their Saturdays driving up and down the M1. As Chris Rea once said: “This is the road to Hall(am).” And Chapeltown, Worksop, and Wakefield.
