It's goodbye from me and it’s goodbye from her
(19.05.08)
For this season anyway!
I hope you didn't miss our weekly report last week – there wasn't much joy to report!
At the Preliminary Round of the Senior County Championships all our participating Counties in the Men’s & Women’s events failed to progress to the Championship Finals Weekend. This means that the West HA will be hosting the Senior Women’s County Championships at Exeter University on Saturday/Sunday 31 May/1 June without a West representative. Instead we will be laying on West sunshine and hospitality for Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Yorkshire and Cumbria to contest the Finals. Information about the event will be posted on the England Hockey website shortly...
However, it was a different story at the YAZOO National Youth Hockey Festival in Nottingham at the weekend where we had 4 teams participating in the YAZOO National Mini Hockey Championships... and 3 of them returned to the West as National Champions!
Ex-Arsenal and England football captain, Tony Adams, who is currently Assistant Manager of Portsmouth, missed Pompey’s FA Cup victory parade to turn up in Nottingham yesterday to watch his daughter Amber help Millfield Prep School win the U13 National Mini Hockey Championship Finals. Millfield Prep School U11 Boys also enjoyed success to ensure a double celebration for Millfield whilst Cheltenham Junior School won the Girl's U11 title. Congratulations go to both Schools and well done
For full details of the events at the YAZOO National Youth Hockey Festival please visit the new look England Hockey website.
This concludes our End of Season reporting for 2007-08. Let’s hope for more success for our West Clubs next season – look out for National Competition Entry Forms which should be available soon.
DON'T FORGET THE WEST HOCKEY ASSOCIATION AGM AT TAUNTON VALE SPORTS CLUB ON THURSDAY 5 JUNE STARTING 7.30PM
See you there!
