2 15 Welcome
We extend a warm welcome to our visitors and their travelling supporters this weekend.
On Saturday the ladies take on Loughborough Students – with the returning Charlotte Watson – who play at 4pm and will be umpired by Andy Poulain, Helen Sargeant and officiated by MO Marilyn Walker
On Sunday our men take on Old Georgians at 2pm, this will be umpired by Andy Poulain (again), Mark Jarvis and officiated by MO Richard Chere.
A lot has happened since I last wrote a set of programme notes back in March and the fact we are lining up to play hockey at all at the start of this season is thanks to an incredible collaborative effort up and down country - firstly England Hockey to get the green light to move to Step 4 and then the clubs to buy into the processes and get the season underway. To date there have been 135,000 Participation Agreements signed, this was ‘called out’ at the re-convened England Hockey AGM last Tuesday and needs repeating here.
Also the big news items from the AGM is to vote in ‘A Structure Fit for the Future’ this is covered in more detail on Page 6 but is the biggest rationalisation and simplification exercise, the sport has undertaken in this country.
This season sees a change in league format in the Premier Leagues with every team playing each other once before Christmas. The leagues will then split in two with the top 6 teams playing each other once more to decide the Champions. The bottom 5 teams will play each other twice more to decide ranking from 7 to 11. This change has been introduced primarily to accommodate a heavily congested international calendar and to maximise the opportunities for the players impacted to still play domestic league hockey.
So lots of change ahead and with change you get opportunity. Enjoy your hockey this weekend.
Kindest regards
Brian Field Chairman – Men’s Hockey, Holcombe Hockey Club
14 3 Pre-Season Holcombe Movers and Shakers By Lucas Ball
Our men's first XI, having narrowly missed out on Finals Weekend last season, have strengthened with the arrivals of Ollie Payne, Sam Hooper and Robert Crowe.
They bid farewell to Mark Gleghorne and Louis Duprez respectively, Mark has taken up a teaching role in Belfast and Louis has joined Racing and aims to try to get a place in the French squad.
Our ladies, meanwhile, have overseen something of a squad overhaul as well as a managerial change in the off-season.
Kevin Johnson returns to Holcombe as Head Coach and brings with him six new faces in Agueda Moroni Melgarejo, Lucianna Galimberti, Adele Sammons, Luciana Galimberti, Corey Meyer and Ivanna Pessina.
Katie Cardwell has joined the first team squad having risen through both our junior and ladies programmes, whilst Emily Beeney and Amelie Green have returned having spent time away from Holcombe Park at university.
Harriet Pittard takes the armband for the ladies after a number of years with the club, replacing the outgoing Steph Elliott who has departed. Credit: Theresa Waight Elliott is one of ten players to depart with Laura Myers, Nicola White, Emma Bandurak, Alice Wills, Philippa Lewis, Issy Davison, Heather McEwan, Hattie Jones and Charlotte Watson. They have all joined Premier League teams so expect to see them popping up at the club this season……

The approval of the Structure Fit for the Future proposals now means that work can start in earnest on delivering the most significant rationalisation and simplification of governance structures that hockey in England has seen. The aim is for a structure that is easier to understand, more consistent and accountable and ultimately easier for clubs and participants to work with. It will take time to deliver the changes and the proposals will continue to need to evolve and develop. The next steps will focus on establishing the new ‘shadow’ structures in each Area and progressing the priority work areas such as adult leagues. If you are interested in helping be part of delivering the changes then please take a few moments to let England Hockey know by filling in the short expression of interest.
Mike Stoddard, President of England Hockey and chair of the AGM said "It was excellent to have so many members join us to discuss such an important issue as well as a such a strong Ladies 1XI - League Fixtures turnout of votes from members. The strong mandate from the membership to deliver the Saturday 19/09/2020 League Loughborough Students Holcombe Park Pitch 1 16:00 Structure Fit for the Future proposals is a message on the appetite for change. Equally, the Saturday 26/09/2020 League Swansea King George V Playing Field 12:00 board of England Hockey recognise that some volunteers that have given long and loyal Saturday 03/10/2020 League Wimbledon Holcombe Park Pitch 1 16:00 service do not agree with all aspects of what is proposed. Given the support from the Saturday 17/10/2020 League Clifton Robinsons Coombe Dingle P1 13:30 membership for the proposals we hope that those will choose to continue to give their Saturday 24/10/2020 League Hampstead & Westminster Holcombe Park Pitch 1 16:00 knowledge and experience to the change process, equally we recognise that some will choose Saturday 07/11/2020 League University of Birmingham Birmingham Uni P1 14:30 this opportunity to step away. We thank them for all they have done for hockey over the Saturday 21/11/2020 League Beeston Holcombe Park Pitch 1 14:00 years. Saturday 28/11/2020 League East Grinstead East Grinstead HC 00:00 Saturday 05/12/2020 League Buckingham Holcombe Park Pitch 1 14:00 "As club hockey is on the verge of leagues resuming the leadership at England Hockey all Saturday 28/11/2020 League Surbiton Surbiton HC 14:00 expressed their gratitude for the effort and energy that is going in to help the game restart.
