Last Saturday the Ladies 4s had a blast. We started slow but had lots of possession and territory but couldn’t manage to beat York’s strong defence. However, towards the end of the first half our perseverance and pressure paid off (and we remembered how to score): a short corner was taken with a straight strike from Charlie and we were away! We went into half-time with the momentum behind us and after a rousing and Read more
After a disappointing November the Mens 3s were looking forward to a home game in December as a springboard to a strong second half of the season. Preparations went well, with Carl on the alcohol free red wine the night before and laying off the curry for a change.

On a beautiful fresh, crisp and most importantly above freezing December day, Adel ladies’ 1st XI travelled to Cheshire to play currently EH Trophy holders Alderley Edge. The team hold fond memories of the last time these two played, however this time round Adel would hope to not need last minute heroics to seal victory.

Despite some skillful H’gate players the 4s defended very well throughout, particularly on a flurry of first half short corners against Read more

The early risers for Saturday’s 10.30am slot were unfortunate to find that the overnight frost had not disappeared in time and a day of Christmas shopping beckoned for the ladies 2s. The ladies 1s followed at 12 noon and with opponents from Leeds Uni not having far to travel, a delayed pushback was planned Read more
Big Bens men turned up at a nice new pitch last Saturday to face the banana skin of seasons past Airedale. With an empty pitch and plenty of time to warm up Adel started quickly applying lots of pressure camped in their half. Airedale showed initially the counter was on when they broke through on goal however the defence delt with it effectively and for the rest of the half Rob was a spectator. Finally Read more
