It was a relatively early start for the 4s this week as we headed out to Cleckheaton to see if we could continue our winning streak. A huddle to start and our most unsuccessful ‘sticks in’ yet that earnt the captain DOD for yelling ‘1, 3, ADEL’ leaving everyone, especially, myself, confused and apparently unable to count. We started well, and it quickly became apparent that we would dominate this match. Having said that, it Read more
Heads up for anyone interested in doing an umpire course, the next one I can find is at Sheffield Hallam HC, Abbeydale on the 27th Nov. Details, registration and other courses can be found here. The cost of the workshop is £50 and is a full day.

Spirits were high when we arrived at The Edge (their pitch) to hear that they had the bare minimum of 11 players, who had all played Read more
“If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there” 8:15 is too early to meet on a Saturday, as proven by everyone apart from Sam, April, Abbie and Flo who were late! All present and correct by 8:30 and the team hit the road for the first of two away trips this season to clubs in Newcastle. Plenty of time and armed with fixture confirmations, fixtures live, sat navs and Read more
So I got tasked with writing the match report but it turns out I don’t remember a whole lot of what goes on in a match so I’ve decided to retell this from a first person play by play.
