Coach Wapping
Last weekend saw a dominant 5-0 win for the L1 as they edge nearer to promotion, good wins for the M4 (3-1) and L7 (2-1) and a 6-1 win for the L6 who continue to smash it.
This weekend there are some big matches at Lee Valley for the L1 in their fight for promotion (14:30) and a derby for the M1 v East London at 11:30. There is also an East London derby for the L6 at 2pm in John Orwell - come down and support these games if you can!
Coaching opportunities
Hopefully you have already seen the fab instagram reel the press team put out this week about coaching opportunities for the 2024/5 season (if not, make sure you give @wappinghc a follow!).
One of the club’s main focuses for next season is improving the support and development of our coaching team, so please share our ‘Opportunities’ page with any coaches (or experienced players interested in coaching) you know - it’s a great opportunity to make an impact and help shape the future of the club.
Alternatively, if you’ve thought about coaching, we are running coaching development over summer to train up new coaches for anyone who would like to give it a go. If you’re interested, send Lizzie an email (wappingvcp@gmail.com).
Quick reminders
The deadline to buy your End of Season Dinner tickets is the 31st March, buy them from the Wapping shop - make sure you don’t miss out. Make sure you buy your raffle tickets whilst you're there, to be in with a chance to win a Simon Wright diamond bracelet.

Kidds’ updates
It’s been a busy end to the season for our Kidds’ teams, with lots of fixtures and tournaments in the last weeks with some great hockey on show to finish up with.
Last weekend the U8s were dominant at Honor Oak, with the A team winning 5 out of 7 matches and the B team winning 3 out of 6, with great spirits in the pouring rain. A special mention to Benjamin, who at 4 years old is our youngest ever Wapping player!
The U10 boys had a very damp afternoon in Catford. Wapping B had a solid afternoon with 2 wins and 1 draw in the group to come 2nd. They then went on to with the final 2-1, a shout out goes to Arthur for his sensational goalkeeping. Wapping A also had a great afternoon including a dominant performance in their final match. The U10 also had a strong weekend, finishing 5th in their tournament.
The U12 boys also had a good win at their cup tournament, with 2 draws and 4 narrow losses. Meanwhile the U14 girls have gone from strength to strength, with a super 3-1 win at Brom Becks a recent update.
A huge thank you to all the parents, kids, coaches, umpires and managers for trekking to various (and sometimes multiple) locations and for all those admin-ing behind the scenes!
