It’s all up from here 

Written By Wapping Hockey

Huge congratulations to the mighty Men’s 2s, Dockers and Women’s 5s who have smashed their seasons and secured league wins with 2 games to go! All three teams have dominated their respective leagues and should be incredibly proud of the performances they’ve put in this season, so let’s get celebrating and get ready for a big one!

This weekend marks the beginning of end of season festivities so head on down to the Moretown Belle for a packed evening full of fun and prizes at the 1’s club fundraiser. A note (because someone asked me this week) that the annual 1s fundraiser is an event organised by our 1s as thanks for the club’s support and all funds raised benefit the whole club (not just the 1s 😅)

Roll up, roll up!

Our Men’s and Women’s 1s have outdone themselves this year having organised quite possibly the most exciting raffle in the history of the club including THREE getaways and heaps of amazing other prizes, so make sure you’ve got your event ticket, raffle tickets, and submitted your bid for the silent auction.

U14 and U12 boys doing us proud! 🏆

Sunday the 16th saw a huge day at Lee Valley for our U14 boys - a team which included a number of our U12s - who took part in the Tier 3 London Hockey Cup final, winning 3-2 against Old Cranleighans in a truly exciting game. We’re so proud of you all and are currently organising where we can display the trophy 👀

Thank you as always to Grant for his dedication to our juniors, coaching on Fridays and providing matchday support. 

Last Sunday, our U12 boys took part in the Tier 1 London Cup competition at Southgate against the strongest teams in London. A fabulous team performance saw them topping their group after beating Wayfarers and Hampstead & Westminster en route. The semi final play off took them against Blackheath, where the final score was 1-1 and, after some debate, proceeded to penalty shuffles, where Wapping lost out 2-1. The eventual winners of the competition were Wayfarers, who Wapping beat 3-1 in the group stages. The performance of this young team shows just how much talent we have at Wapping.

Umpires

Congratulations to Women’s 1 skipper, Izzy Montgomery, who passed her Level 1 umpiring assessment shortly before leading her team to a juicy victory against East London in the National League.

Eoin Robinson of M1 fame was also successful in passing his Level 1 assessment before locking in a 3-1 victory for M1 against Teddington.

It’s great to see members taking on umpiring, a reminder that we always need more umpires - the more we have, the less that individuals need to do. Please consider signing up here. 

End of season drinks

We had a stormer at The Northcote celebrating the W1s brilliant derby victory and M2’s promotion. Our friends at The Northcote are throwing us a bash on April 5th to celebrate the end of the season, grab your teams and head down!
