Mixed fortunes for the senior teams

Saturday saw 9 senior games with the mens 4s once again suffering due to the opposition not being able to raise a side.  A hastily arranged knockabout game for the 10.30 slot at least ensured a big crowd were present for the following 2 games featuring our ladies and mens 1st teams. The game at High Noon was the showdown between Leeds Adel and City of York with the home team assembling a squad of Read more

U16 Girls EH Cup

Filling in the EH registration form prior to Sundays fixtures of 4 x 25 mins games it became clear we had a small issue. Due to some last minute injuries we were going into a very competitive round of 4 cup games with no defenders in the squad! Massive well done to all the players who played out of position today including Holly, Amber, Ailsa, Amelia, Laura and Emily. Perhaps a new defender was found Read more

Orange in action at the u.16s English HA Cup

“Tangerine Dream” (ask your dad/granddad)…..pictured left to right: Theo, Ben W, Finlay, Patrick(c), Simon, Adam, Ben C, Paddy, Max, Tom, …. and Sholto.   A huge well done to our boys’ u16 team, who finished third in their group of the Yorkshire round of the English HA cup.

Restaurant Review: “hockeyclub@adel”

There is a new executive chef at this north Leeds bistro, so we thought we’d swing by and sample the fare. And we were not disappointed.

I ordered the signature dish, “garlic pasta”, and so Read more

BOLD HEADLINE !!! to compensate for lack of authentic match report….

It was cold and wet and miserable for the men’s 5s trip to Wakefield, but the boys were steely in their resolve and determined to capitalise on the previous week’s success. A lone spectator braved the elements, wiping the condensation from his NHS spectacles with a sodden handkerchief, proudly embroidered with the letters A.T.I.D…. Probably. I wouldn’t know, cos I was 100 miles away in the Lake District, also enduring a weather system straight out Read more
