Adel ascended on the rolling valley of Halifax, West Yorkshire (where everybody seems to know everybody) for a crucial away fixture with one of the league’s best. Big Ben’s men knew that the talented and tough playing style of the boiz from the valley had to be taken seriously, especially dropping down from the league above. Adel broke the deadlock with a Will Purdy short corner, two more goals from Purdy, one each from Rory Read more
Last week the 4s suffered a frustrating 2-0 loss against Bradford despite having most of the possession and the majority of play being in the oppositions half. You wouldn’t have thought this was one of the first times we had played together as a team with great positioning and passing throughout the game. Their keeper and defence were too strong for us on this occasion, saving numerous shots on goal despite best efforts to hit Read more
With the last season promotion from Division 3 a distant memory, as well as the close 2-1 loss against Acomb away for the season opener – Adel needed to step it up a gear for the first home fixture of the 2016/17 campaign against Thirsk. Thirsk also were promoted last year, and have always been a stubborn team to beat over the years, but with Coach Katy Blyth stepping up to give constant guidance, Read more

The Mens Fours headed over to Ben Rhydding on Saturday off the back of a nervy and flattering win against the 5s last week. They started well moving the ball swiftly between the front three with excellent support down the wings and were rewarded with an early goal following a great ball in from Damian neatly finished by defender Tom. The 2nd goal took longer to come than expected but arrived courtesy of accuracy over power from Read more
The longest away game of the season and playing a team the 2’s often struggle against was the treat bestowed upon the Men’s 2’s on the opening day of the season by the Yorkshire Hockey Association. I suppose we provided payment to the hockey gods for every other team to have a home game. Brigg (or rather Scunthorpe) was the location of the clash and the opposition was familiar in colour. However, it was filled with Read more
