  • Programme 3Rd October
    Holcombe Hockey Club Saturday 3rd October 2020 4pm Holcombe Ladies vs Wimbledon Ladies 6pm Holcombe Men vs Wimbledon Men 2 19 Welcome We extend a warm welcome to our visitors Wimbledon HC and their travelling supporters today and we thank you for restricting your support today to help us manage numbers during these challenging times. We also welcome our officials; for the Ladies game at 4pm umpires Rebecca Woodcock and David Howell and at 6pm umpires Will Champness and Martin Twist. For both games our Match Official is Stephen Mason. We ask all spectators to wear a face covering today unless seated in the Clubhouse, and please be mindful of the volunteers on duty today directing you to the safest spots to spectate. Across the country there has been an enormous effort to get hockey up and running again but with escalating cases being reported daily in the past fortnight we must ‘raise the bar’ to do our utmost to protect you and keep the sport we love ticking over. In the ladies match visitors Wimbledon made a great start to the season at home against Swansea before losing on the road to ‘seasoned opposition’ in the form of Clifton Robinson. Holcombe started with a loss to Loughborough Students who confirmed their early season promise with a draw against Surbiton last weekend. Holcombe responded last weekend with a good win again Swansea. Two very strong squads coming up against each other today. In the men’s match, Wimbledon continue to recruit high quality players year on year rd to add to an already impressive squad that saw them finish 3 last year – losing Ed Horler was a big blow but they will fancy their chances to be in the mix come the end of the season.

  • News of the Carlton Tavern
    Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club Newsletter January 2017 Keeping Vice Presidents and Friends in the know Welcome This is the eighteenth in our series of Newsletters. It marks a new scheme of trying to provide more relevant news quicker by reporting during the mid-season break in the National League calendar. It may be briefer but will be followed by an end of season edition as customary, although that, too, may have less content, for hopefully obvious reasons. Executive Summary The Club is in good heart, with both first teams well placed in their Leagues, the Women seemingly able to avoid the post promotion effect and able to maintain their showing of last season as newcomers. The Men have seen the hard work of pre-season reap rewards. A new team has evolved in quick time and has enjoyed success not seen in recent seasons and are well-placed at just more than the half way stage. Up to 14 January 2017, in the London League the Men’s 2nd XI and 3rd XI are leaders in the Premier Division and Division 1, respectively. Zak Hond XI are in ninth spot in the same League Division 1. The 4th XI are in tenth position in London League Division 2. In Division 3, the 5th XI are league leaders, with nine wins and three losses, a point ahead of London Wayfarers. In Division 5, the Hammers XI are in fifth place. Division 6 has two H&W teams: the Spaniards XI are fourth and the Thirsts XI are fifth. The Vets sit top of Veterans Division One, with nine wins and three losses but the Supervets are struggling a little, being seventh of eight in Supevets Division 1, helped by a win on 7 January 2017 against Chelmsford.

  • Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club Newsletter April 2011 Keeping Vice Presidents and Friends in the Know
    Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club Newsletter April 2011 Keeping Vice Presidents and Friends in the know Welcome This is the seventh in our series of revamped Newsletters. This looks back on the 2010/11 season and on to the challenges of next autumn. We cover some initiatives on the Rules of the game taken up this spring in Holland at the European Hockey League championship in some detail too, lest some of them see their way to FIH acceptance. International News We are delighted to learn that Men‟s 1 captain, Dan Fox has been called up for the Great Britain squad for the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Malaysia. And even more that he played in the opening win, by 3-1, against Malaysia, coming off the bench. The tournament will be held from 5 May until 15 May in Ipoh, Perak, a two hour drive north of Kuala Lumpur at the Sultan Azlan Shah Stadium. For those eager to attend, apparently there is no fee at the gate! This year‟s participants are Malaysia, Korea, India, Australia, Pakistan. Great Britain and New Zealand. Great Britain‟s campaign gets underway against the hosts Malaysia at 13:05 BST on Thursday 5 May. In 2010, the final was washed out, so India and Korea were adjudged joint champions. Australia beat Malaysia 5-3 to come third, with Malaysia fourth, Pakistan fifth, China sixth and Egypt in seventh place. The GB Squad is: Richard Alexander (Surbiton) Nick Brothers (Reading) [GK] Jonty Clarke (Reading) Matt Daly (Surbiton) Adam Dixon (Beeston) James Fair (Cannock) Dan Fox (Hampstead & Westminster) Glenn Kirkham (East Grinstead) Iain Lewers (Loughborough Students) Iain Mackay (Reading) Richard Mantell (Reading) Simon Mantell (Reading) Rob Moore (Wimbledon) Richard Smith (Loughborough Students) Richard Springham (Reading) Niall Stott (East Grinstead) James Tindall (Surbiton) Alastair Wilson (Beeston) Memorial Match This is for the Summer diaries, please.

    Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club Newsletter September 2011 Keeping Vice Presidents and Friends in the know Welcome This is the eighth in our series of revamped Newsletters. In large measure this looks forward to the 2011/12 season and all the aspirations a new season carries. There is some inevitable reportage and also a look back to previous starts of seasons when things were different, even if some of the same issues seem to recur. On the communication front you can now follow the Club on Facebook and on twitter @HandWHC. Memorial Match This season’s Memorial Match was held on Sunday 11 September 2011 at Paddington Recreation Ground as mentioned in the earlier circular. On a warm and sunny day, Cyril Flajsner collected the Harry Watson Memorial Trophy after a 3-1 win to the Legends. International News In the last edition we promised greater coverage of the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Malaysia, especially following Dan Fox’s participation for Great Britain, the Club’s first representative since the mid 1960’s and Jim Deegan. Great Britain got the campaign off to a winning start as goals from Surbiton’s James Tindall, Loughborough Students’ Richard Smith and Wimbledon’s Rob Moore helped them to a 3-1 victory over hosts Malaysia in Ipoh on the opening Thursday. Head Coach Jason Lee handed Iain Lewers his Great Britain debut in a starting XI that included Reading’s Euro Hockey League hero goalkeeper Nick Brothers and saw East Grinstead’s Glenn Kirkham wearing the captain’s armband. Dan Fox made his GB debut, coming on from the bench.
