Thinking caps on
Last weekend saw a massive 7-1 for the M10 over East London 8, a crucial 3-0 win for the M5 against Harrow and a 4-2 win for the L1 who now sit second in an incredibly tight London Prem league with only 4 points separating the top 4 teams battling for promotion.
This week is slip week for most but seven teams are still in action with multiple postponed matches being played.
Umpire assessment
Congratulations to those who have recently passed umpiring assessments: Sam Peel (outdoor: Level 1) 🥳 and Phil O’Hagan (indoor: Level 2 indoor, outdoor: London Prem Panel) 🥳 🥳
It is really crucial to the club that we have a few umpires per team so please do support and encourage team mates to sign up to one of the England hockey online hockey courses below. It only takes a couple of hours, is hosted online, and run by umpires with heaps of experience, so a great way to pick up some hints and tips. This month there are courses running on Tuesday 21st and Sunday 26th of February.
