Last Saturday saw a goal fest on Coutances Way – some good and some not so good.

The Ladies 1s game against Belper was the highlight as they finished 6-1 winners. Six goalscorers in Ellis, Wilson, Whitehead, Cordukes, Trafford and Janzen. Meanwhile a ‘comp;acent’ Mens 1st team were undone by an on-fire recently promoted Lancaster & Morecambe 7-3. Full reports on the Ilkley Gazette website.

This Saturday the Ladies have the morning slots with the 3s entertaining Bingley Bees (10.330) and the 5s entertaining Northallerton at noon. Then the men takeover with the 4s at home to Wakefield at 1.30 and the 2s in their first league match of the season playing Sheffield Uni Bankers at 3pm.

The lower Mens teams are struggling to get teams out and there is a general plea to all those who might be thinking of playing this season to get a move on – or we might end up having to withdraw teams from the leagues. Please speak to James Snook or any team captain.

Don’t forget that the Mens section have a special offer of 50% off the annual sub for first time members.

Down Under Barbecue

There will be an informal social at the club on Saturday as you are invited to witness the demolishment of the Aussies in the Rugby – there will be a barbecue and plenty of (cheap) beer. The Barbecue will be available from about 7 and the game starts at 8.

Notices
Men’s training takes place on Wednesday evenings and new coach, Andrew Lorimer, is pleased with the numbers attending but is hoping to see a few more as the season goes on. 8.30pm – 10pm.
Subs are now due and should be paid as soon as possible – the deadline is Oct 31st. The Men’s section have a special offer this year for new joiners with a 50% discount on the annual sub. The Men’s section have also had to postpone some early season games due to unavailability. James Snook ([email protected]), the new Chair of Selectors, and the team captains are keen to hear from all those who can play this season.

All the fixtures will be up on the website shortly. In the meantime they can be found on the Yorkshire Hockey Association website (www.yorkshireha.org.uk) or at http://w.fixtureslive.com/club/138/whats-on/Ben-Rhydding
