1st XI v Birkenhead School - Good Results!!

Well done to all of the players who played in the 1st and 2ndXI games at Birkenhead School. The two performances ensured that we came away with pleasing results!! A hard forght battle against the 1st XI ended in a 0-0 draw with the killer instinct infront of goal being the key. The main focus and aim oif this squad must be their basic skills and their ability to pass to each other and to create space for each other.

The second point is how much they want the ball and more importantly the game itself. 'Do you want it more than your opposite number?'

All that being said the boys played well against a young yet well drilled Birkenhead 2nd XI and showed their fighting skills to end up 3-1 winners. Assisted by the umpire in the first game Scott, Taylor, Cooper and Millington all finished with aplomb. Well Done Boys

This Wednesday the 13th the 1st and 2nd team play Birkenhead School at Oxton HC. This will be a good test for our boys as the complete the first half of the season. Good luck boys

Good Training session

Tuesday 5th December

Well Done to all the boys in Years 9/10 and also to Graeme Millington, Chris Scott and Mike Cooper.

Yr 9 v St Anselms

This game is another match under the quickly improveing Year 9 team. There are lots of signs that these boys have improved and are beginning to understand how to lay the game. A good early chance hat fell to debutant Sean Farrington was unlucky saved by the St Anselms goalkeeper who had played for the U16's. We kept making lots of short passes and created a few chances and gained some short corners.

In the second half we had a bizarre 10 minute period in which the St Anselms team scored three goals.

If the boys can start playing for local hockey clubs like Neston, Bebinton and Oxton then we could really see improvements in their individual skills.
Keep things up boys!!

St Anselms 3 v 0 Wirral

1st XI v Kings Macclesfield

This was a strange old game the Wirral team approached the game with a lax attitude and this showed as the performance was just not there! The basic skills were poor and we struggled to string passes together and create chances.

Wirral 1 v 2 Kings Macclesfield

Yr 9 House Hockey Tournament

On a fairly cold wet afternoon, there was a feast of Hockey took place at the Bebington Oval. The four houses of Barber, Dodds, Hodgson and Lever were well represented and the four goalkeepers of Jonathan Dearden-Williams, Adam Dolman, Andrew Rich and Tom Smith all got kitted up in the rain. This was going to be fun!!The matches started with two matches taking place on half of a pitch.

Barber 1 v 2 Dodds
Woods Tom, Farrington, Sean and Dutton, Max

Hodgson 0 v 0 Lever


A good start to the matches with plenty of chances in both games and good goalkeeping. These boys have started to show skills and are working well as a team. The commitment is amazing.
