Every Little Helps
With the league now in full swing a shout out must go to the M4, M8 and L1 for all winning both of their opening two games. This Back Post has a recap of the great Ladies day social last weekend, an update on the Kidds (including how buying your meal deal at Tesco could bring more hockey tops into the club) and some reminders on L’Ump month and upcoming socials.
Ladies’ night recap
Not only did four ladies teams win their games last weekend, but the whole ladies side of the club had a great social in the evening at Brewdog in Waterloo. A big shout out has to go to the Brewdog slide in particular. Thank you to our partner, El Tab, whose app allows you to order four free drinks (up to £10 each) at some of the most popular bars in London. Find an exclusive code in the members area of our website to get 14 days access for £1. Definitely worth considering the app for future team socials.. My Saturday saw me send a G&T, rum and pineapple, espresso martini and frozen margarita for a grand total of £3 thanks to El Tab - so a great money saving deal to get your hands on if you ask me.

This weekend saw the U14 Girls emerge victorious as 4-2 winners in their first ever 11 a side game against Honor Oak. It was a great game and the coaches were very proud of the team, particularly as at least 5 players were U12s! Congrats to the team for such a great start to their season.
