Derbies for days
As the weather (finally) looks to be turning in hockey’s favour, there is a weekend of tasty derbies to be looking forward to. Hopefully the M1’s satisfying win over East London last week has left you craving more derby victories as this week the M3, L4 and Dockers all take on East London at home (scroll down for timings). Additionally, if that wasn’t spicy enough, there are two inter-Wapping derbies taking place: the M8 v M9 at 14:00 at JO followed directly after by a L6 v L7 match at 15:30 so plan for a full day of sideline fun and games.
Plugging some support
The M3 and L2 are back-to-back at LV this weekend (Pitch 1, 13:00 and 14:30) and could do with some vocal support, so if your team is at LV too please consider wrapping up (Wapping blankets can be found in our locker), grabbing yourself a tipple, and exercising your lungs to help them secure those 6 points.
Dates for the diary:
As dry/damp January comes to the end, socials are creeping back and there are a couple key dates to get in your diary:
Saturday 10th February: social secs have booked the club space at the Moretown Belle from 4pm for the England v Wales 6 Nations game
Saturday 2nd March: L1/M1 quiz raffle fundraiser, after the success of last year this fundraiser night is back - so keep the date free in your diary!
Woo go Phil:
Massive congrats to Phil O'Hagan for passing his Level 3 indoor umpiring assessment, making him Wapping HC’s first ever NPUA Indoor umpire. He’s also been selected for the World Masters indoor cup, taking place at the end of March in Nottingham. We wish him all the best!
