Season in Review

Results Roundup

The season is over, the dust has settled, here are the standings:

Ladies 1st’s 7th (out of 12) North Div 2 (East)
Ladies 2nd’s 2nd (out of 12) – PROMOTED Yorkshire Div 4
Ladies 3rd’s 6th (out of 11) Yokrshire Div 6
Mens 1st’s 4th (out of 12) Yorkshire Div 2
Mens 2nd’s 7th (out of 12) Yorkshire Div 5 (South)
Mens 3rd’s 2nd (out of 10) – PROMOTED Yorkshire Div 7 (South)
Mens 4th’s 4th (out of 8 .) Yorkshire Development

Of the three teams fighting for promotion, 2 got it – unfortunately the Mens 1st’s were beaten to 2nd place in the last week of the league. All other teams have had strong seasons, with everyone achieving mid-table positions or higher.

The juniors have had another  great year, some impressive performances from the U10’s section show a wealth of talent coming through in both boys and girls teams. Similarly, the U12’s have had some great showings, especially the boys with some big wins over local rivals. The strongest boys team has been the U14’s who will compete in the Yorkshire play-offs after coming 2nd. The girls have also done well, especially several new players joining the U14 age group. Unfortunately, the U16’s have had some tough matches during the season and so were unable to reach the play-offs with either the boys or girls teams.

Reports Roundup

Mens 1st’s vs. L.A.Carnegie 3rd’s (loss).

Mens 2nd’s vs. Sheffield Uni Bankers 7th’s (loss), Doncaster 6th’s (win).

Mens 3rd’s vs. Sheffield Uni Bankers 8th’s (win), Chapeltown 4th’s (win), Normanby Park 2nd’s (win).

Ladies 1st’s vs. Huddersfield Dragons (draw), Kingston Upon Hull 1st’s (loss).

March in Review

Results Roundup

The season is now growing to a close, with few games left for every team. Three of our teams are still in the running for promotion, though it is all close at the top, so final positions will only be confirmed next month.

The mens firsts have racked up some impressive results, with 4 consecutive wins lifting the team to a secure 2nd place. However, a loss to top tier and promotion competitor Old Malton will put promotion hopes in the hands of the chasing teams. The seconds have secured a strong mid table position; after a run of tough fixtures, 2 back-to-back wins secured a safe mid-league position. The thirds have promotion in their sights. With 3 games left, the fight for 2nd (promotion) place is close and may only be decided by the final game! The fourth’s (development) have finished their fixtures. A series of stong performances in the last month has secured them a strong 3rd place finish.

The ladies firsts had a mixed month; 2 draws, 2 losses and 1 win over high flying Durham University 3rd’s. These results have strengthened their mid-table position on their first season in the north. The ladies seconds still sit in a strong 3rd place, though with a couple of results going against them, promotion may now be tougher. The thirds have booked another season in division 6 next season having already secured a mid-table position. A series of encounters towards the end of the season have proven tough, though the team have battled through to achieve a strong position with games still remaining.

The juniors have continued to have some great results; the boys U10’s finished the season on a high with promotion back to pitch B including 3-0 demolitions of both local rivals – Wakefield and Huddersfield Dragons! Boys U12’s have had similar success, also achieving promotion to pitch B with some very promising results. This success was also reflected with the Boys U14’s reaching the play-offs after finishing second place in the league.

On the girls side, a series of cancelled games have hampered playing. However, the Girls under 10’s have finished 2nd in the league with some impressive results. The Girls U16’s had a tough last tournament, unfortunately their efforts were not enough to secure a play-off position.

Reports Roundup

Mens 1st’s vs Chapeltown 2nd’s (win), Ben Rhydding 3rd’s (win),Thirsk 1st’s (win), Leeds 3rd’s (draw), Old Malton 1st’s (loss).

Newsletter No 4 – February 2012

Summer Solstice 2012

The return of the Solstice Tournament last year, after 10 years away was a great success; over a dozen teams from all over the country competed for the Stonehenge trophies with the men’s league being won by Bexley Heath (London) and the Ladies by Slaz.

The event raised the profile of the club nationally and made a significant contribution to the Astro replacement fund. So we’re doing it again! (Photos of last years tour can be found here).

Big Day Band

As per last year, Slaz will only be entering one men’s and one ladies team – chosen by the first team captains.

However this is a club event, so if you’re not playing, please do still get involved; come down and support the teams and enjoy the weekend; especially Saturday night. If it is anything like last year, it will be unforgettable, especially with the return of the Big Day band!

Finally, if you are interested in helping out with the organisation or on the day, then see Mat Birkett, or drop him an email

 

End of Season Awards Dinner

To follow what currently looks like a great season with both the Ladies 2’s and Men’s 1’s in promotion places, the End of Season Awards Dinner location and date has been finalised.

The evening will be held on Saturday the 12th of May and will this year be held at the Holiday Inn on the junction of Queens Drive and Wakefield Rd, Ossett (Nr the M1 J40).

As usual tickets in advance only please, Adults £25, Students/U18’s £20, available from Mat, Hayles, or behind the bar.

Important Sports Club Info…

Slazenger Sports and Social Club Icon

All being well, you will be aware that as a member of Slazenger Hockey Club, you are also a member of Slazenger Sports and Social Club.

Slazenger Sports and Social Club is made up of the four permanent sports sections; Slazenger Hockey club, Slazenger Bowls Club, Horbury Town Football Club, Wakefield Archers, plus social members. The sports club runs the facilities and as part of this, you have certain benefits (such as being able to use the tennis courts at discount rates). In the coming months, there will be some major changes with the social club. The club will be changing its name (though no effect to the hockey clubs’ name) and will be making more of an effort to keep everyone informed of what is going on.

British Heart Foundation

The clubs website is www.slazengersportsclub.co.uk, and will hopefully develop to keep you better informed of the goings on around you.

The club committee (made up of section reps) is going through a process of planning the future development of the club (including the astro replacement). If you have any ideas or thoughts on improvement or whether you can help, you can email through to info@slazengersportsclub.co.uk.

British Heart Foundation

You may have noticed the collection bin on the car park for British Heart Foundation. If you’re going through spring cleaning and have any old DVD’s, music or books you wish to get rid of, please think about using the bin.

 

October in Review

Results Roundup

With the snow and ice earlier this month, there has been less than the usual amount of games played. The mens 1st’s continue to fly high in Div 2, with some big wins keeping them in second place, though with chasing teams having games in hand. Men’s 2nd’s continue to have mixed success, after some tough games to start the year. The men’s 3’s have had some success between cancelled games, with some decisive wins still keeping them in the promotion hunt. Success for the development team continues to keep them high in the league.

In the Ladies section, there has also been mixed success. The Ladies 1sts sit mid table in North Div 2 (East), celebrating after 2 wins on the bounce, only to then lose against Rotherham. Ladies 2nds have returned to the 2nd spot in the league with some strong performances especially the 3-0 win over Leeds and 5-0 victory over Driffield. The Ladies 3rd’s have continued a good run of form, contesting well with some of the stronger league oppositions.

The Junior calendar has been the most effected by bad weather, with only a couple of tournaments being played. The boys U10’s continue to impress, though may have met their match this season. With the young team coming up against opposition at the top of their age group, the team were only able to manage draws.

Bys U12’s also had some mixed success, though securing their position on Pitch C – to which they had been promoted the tournament before.

Reports Roundup

Mens 1sts vs Ramgarhia 1st’s (win), Wakefield 3rd’s (win), Normanby Park 1st’s (loss), Lincoln Roses 2nd’s (win).

Mens 2nds vs. Barnsley 1st’s (loss), Leeds University 6th’s(loss).

November in Review: The Halfway Point

Mens Section

At halfway through the season, the leagues are starting to settle down, with some strong results for Slazenger so far. In the Mens section, the 1st team have moved into a promotion slot in second place. However, some tough encounters and a game ahead of the competition will keep things close at the top. The seconds move into a strong 5th position in a competitive Division 5 (South). With only 7 points seperating the top 6 teams, it is going to be a close affair in the new year. The Mens 3rds are also in 5th position. With a game in hand over teams above, and an encounter with 3 of the teams above in January, it may be the make or break month for the team. The Mens development team are also putting in a strong performance, sitting 3rd at the moment, with some big wins under the belt.

Ladies Section

In the Ladies section, Ladies 1sts sit in 7th position, in their first season in the North Hockey League’s Division 2 (East). Some strong wins against established players in this league have been matched by some heavy reversals. The 2nds have had mixed fortunes after an initial undefeated run, which has knocked them off of top spot. However, some big wins keep them in 4th place, within striking distance of promotion. The 3rds have also had success, including a 6-0 victory over Doncaster, but some decisive losses keep them in 3rd place, and 7 points short of a promotion slot.

Junior Section

The Juniors have seen some big wins in all age groups. The Boys U10’s continue to impress, despite being a very young team. After securing promotion to Pitch B in the first tournament, they now sit mid table. An impressive result from the Boys U12’s has also ensured promotion, with 3 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw from their first tournament. Similarly, the Boys U14’s have also recorded some fantastic performances, winning 5 of their first 6 matches. The team go into the new year in 4th place (out of 16). The Boys U16’s unfortunately have struggled in their opening matches, however with strong team performances and the divisional structure in place from January, the team should be more competitive.

On the girls side of things, the joint Slazenger Selby U12 outfit sits comfortably mid table after some mixed results. The Girls U14’s have suffered a series of losses, and a missed tournament means that they sit close to the bottom of their league. However, team performances have been strong even though they have not played much as a team. Stand out performances go to the girls U16’s who, after a slow start to the season finished this year with a perfect tournament. 5 wins from 5 and 5 clean sheets.

October 18, 2011 by Slazenger HC

Well, October is here and almost a month of the season has gone already! So here is a roundup of news and goings on at your club from the last month….

The “Frightfully Good” Fancy Dress Halloween social will be on Saturday 29th October, for both Junior and Senior Sections. Tickets are £5 for Seniors. Juniors ; £1 without food, £2.50 with food. Full details are avaliable on the website. Seniors can get their tickets from Mat, Hayley or over the bar. Juniors should speak to a member of their junior committee.

Registration

For those who have not registered, or paid subs yet, time is running out! At the end of October, our motley band of Captains and coaches will be unleashed to round up any outstanding players. Be warned – they bite! Save yourself, and REGISTER ONLINE now!

Please remember that for anyone setting up a standing order, the deadline for the first payment is Monday 31st October 2011. Any payments after this must be the total amount.

Too Good To Go (2G2G)

The Junior Committee have got the equipment recycling scheme up and running. Now that its a few weeks into the season, they are looking for any kit which is no longer needed, outgrown or replaced, but would be useful to another player. If you have any clothing/equipment, please contact Sarah Jane Ritchey at sarahjaneritchey@googlemail.com, or speak to a member of the committee. Equipment can be dropped off at any training sessions during the week.

A full catalogue of kit is avaliable online at this web address. Anyone interested in anything listed should also speak to Sarah, or a Junior committee member at the above address.

Goalkeeper Training!

For all those budding Goalies and anyone interested in taking up the fine art, the junior section is running a seperate training session the first Sunday of every month between 12 noon and 1pm. This training takes place after the regular junior training session.

The junior section are looking for players of any age, interested in trying out as keepers. Speak to a member of the committee for more information. Slazengers will provide the keepers kit, so don’t worry about not having the right gear!

The mens section are looking for another keeper – So if a player is interested, or you know someone who wants to get involved, speak to a mens team captain.

Committee Meetings

As you may know, the club is run by a committee made up of representatives from all sections. The monthly committee meetings are open to all of the club, whether you have an issue to raise, or just want to see what happens. The next meeting is onTuesday 1st November at 7.30pm in the clubhouse. All are welcome to attend.

While the 1st’s have had a steady start, the 2nd’s sit at the top of Division 4, with a draw and two wins, including their 8-0 defeat of Huddersfield. The 3’s have also been playing some great hockey placing them mid table. The junior leagues have only just begun, with few matches played. However the Boys U10’s have already secured promotion in their first round!!

Prizes for the biggest winners on the night. The event is in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support and is open to our oldest juniors and all adults whether club members or not.

Presentation Day & BBQ
We will be holding what has become one of the highlights of our social calendar on 22nd May at the club. The format will be the same as in previous years. 10am till noon “Parents v Kids” followed by a BBQ and presentation’s to all age groups. It is important that we know numbers in advance for catering.

Ticket price also includes entry into the raffle (for which prizes would also be gratefully received).

Could all winners of last year’s trophies please make arrangements to return them before the end of the season.

Player of the Year
Please ensure you give your vote to your team manager. You can only vote for ONE person in your actual age group, and you must not vote for yourself. The person you nominate should be the player who you feel has given the most to the TEAM this season at training and when playing in matches not just someone who is your friend.

Help Wanted
For your junior section to be able to grow it needs volunteers who can commit their time to help, be it at training, as team secretaries, or at social events. No experience is necessary to be able to give worthwhile support. Training courses are available to anyone who wants to become more involved. Please contact Steve Wood (07802 235805). stevewood17@googlemail.com

Recruitment drive
We have seen fewer of the “younger end” (U12’s) attending Slazenger Juniors this year, therefore whilst we welcome new members of all ages we would partially like to encourage increased membership from school year 6 and below (especially girls). Please spread the word to all you know that may be interested.

In addition one initiative we are pursuing is the possibility of a number of summer “open” dates where anyone, whether friends of current members or not, can come alone and “have a go” FOC. Of course current members will also be welcome.

Pitchside Advertising
In approximately 5 years, the Sports Club is looking to replace the Astroturf carpet as it will be over 15 years old. Since this is going to be a large expensive, the Club is to start raising funds now. One method is by selling pitch side advertising. The aim is to sell 8ft x 3 ft pitch side advertising space for a 6 or 12 month period, final costs to be agreed but expected to be around £200. The cost of manufacture and installation of the banners will be covered in the price, and the remaining money will go into a fund for the new pitch. The final OK is needed from the Sports Club Committee at the end of March, but we would like to get the ball moving as soon as possible. We are especially interested in getting local businesses involved, so if you work for a business, or own one that would be interested in supporting the club could you please contact ianhedges@gmail.com, and he will send you more details.
