End, New and Olympic Surprise at Ditcham
Next week, 22nd April, is the last coaching session of the season but dont’t forget the fun day at Ditcham Park with awards and an Olympic surprise for all the kids that turn up. For anyone graduating out of the minis then for next season the Boys should be training on Wednesday evenings next season and the girls on Tuesday evenings.
We would love to reuse any old mini kit such as green polo shirts if you could bring them along to Ditcham Park that would be fantastic.
Symo has completed his last Mini-Hockey Sunday Morning Session and his contribution and dedication has been immense. He is being replaced by Penny, below, who is an experienced coach with Havant HC in her blood and a daughter who plays for England at hockey!

Both teams should be resonably strong and this will help many of those moving onto under 12 level at the end beginning of next season. If you are not included please remember you are part of our squad and keep coming and the opportunities will arise in the future.

Oliver’s Army
Possibly over critical of my son’s general play most of the time. Yesterday I was officially the proudest dad as Ollie’s stick work and goal scoring success inspired all around him to great things.
With all said and done what a great team performance too. Connor the rock in defence (or Python as he prefers to be called), Ella’s versatility, Emily Curwood’s sheer determination, Matthew’s will-to win, Morgan’s dependability, Poppy’s goal scoring tenacity, Emily Nelson’s debut, and not least Grace Taylor’s theme-tune ability … like her Dad, a see a career behind the microphone too!
This resulted in 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss … Goals scored 11 and 5 conceded. 6 for Ollie and 5 for Poppy. I am undoubtedly a lucky person to coach this great bunch of kids.
