Wicked weather abounds, with everybody crossing digits and limbs in the hope that tomorrow (11 Feb)'s matches will be played after the postponements of last weekend.
L2 play at 9:30 at home, although this could be in doubt as the forecast is -3 between 9am and 12 noon.
M1 start at 12:30 at home v Weston, followed by M2 at 2:00 v Bourton & Sherborne

Adult hockey training restarts on Tuesday 3 January between 7pm and 9pm. We have no idea how many will turn up and it is unlikely that formal sessions will be held. Ladies and Men are, therefore, encouraged to turn up for 7pm or shortly afterwards to hone the skills numbed by the supping of mulled wine and nibbling of chocolate tree decorations. If you feel you may have forgotten which hand goes where on a hockey stick, this session is truly the one you need - avoid embarassment and possible harassment in future weeks' matches by investing in re-training NOW !

Saturday proved to be an historic day for Ecotricity-sponsored Stroud Hockey Club, all 6 teams winning with a net result of 37-2, a veritable rugby score ! The Ladies’ 1st XI secured a 5-0 away win to take them into 3rd spot, whilst the Ladies’ 2nd XI gained their 3rd League victory of the season with a convincing 4-1 victory. The Men’s U16 Badgers started relatively slowly away to Sherborne, but invested their 1-0 lead well to come out 6-0 winners with 2 goals from Andrew Reader and one apiece from Alex Richards, Danny Sopp, Jamie Penmore and Seb Wathen. The Men’s 1st XI took Bridgend apart at home, 6-0, helped by captain Alex Waring’s hat trick, thus placing them 2nd in North 1. The Men’s 2nd XI cruised to a 12-0 win away to Cleevillians A, Calum Norman claiming a hat trick in a match with six different scorers. This leaves Stroud 4 points clear at the top of HG1 after six League games.
It was a fine way to start the Guy Fawkes Day celebrations which culminated in a social event at The Crown and Sceptre. A marvellous hog roast and explosive firework display were a fitting tribute to a fine day’s hockey and a good way to celebrate Rob Waite’s 30th birthday.

For the first time this season the Stroud side did not score a goal: a rare occurrence. Despite having much of the possession in mid-field and some strong defensive work by Tati Howell in goal, the forwards were unable to find the form to secure that all important goal. The lack of goals from Stroud can in part be attributed to the Newent defence – the team’s 2 best players played in the defence. For Stroud, Carrie Sanders did some wonderful attacking runs and was awarded ‘Player of the match’ for her determination and drive. Captain Katy Stotesbury was commanding in the back diamond position and was instrumental in some fine attacking manoeuvres. Stroud had 3 short corners and, unlike previous weeks, was unable to score from any of them. The Newent keeper was called upon several times to stop a shot from the Stroud attack but the Stroud team, despite its sustained pressure was just unable to find the net.

Hiya folks, as you will now see I have finally managed to get the new website up and running, there are still a couple of niggles which I have to attend to which include:
I would like to take this opportunity for people to have a look around the website and let me know if you find and bugs or problems. At the next committee meeting I will be opening the floor for suggestions on additonal features on the site that people would like to see. At this stage this really needs to be limited to "Necessary" features as my time is a little limited, but I will consider all suggested features if people put them forward.
Training on how to use the Content Management System will be happening on Monday 19th September at 7pm down at Hostpipe's new office (Stroud House on Russell Street in the centre of town). Map and directions can be found using the link below:
I would like as many people to attend as possible as it will reduce the amount of time(s) I have to train people, and support time required.

Good news ... our home pitch is being relaid during July/August 2011, in time for new season training to recommence (probably) during the 3rd week of August. We can look forward to a slick playing surface ... just think of the old surface after a good soaking - that's how I imagine it. I guess we will need to run faster to keep up with the ball, of course, so there's an incentive to get fit FAST !Posted in General | No Comments

It is with much sadness that I write to inform everybody of the passing of Jack Gaskell, aged 93 and for many years our Club President. A man of great passion for all of the sports he enjoyed, Jack took such pleasure in his involvement with Stroud Hockey Club and still came to watch matches into his 90s. His keen eye for the game will be sorely missed but his legacy of fair play tempered by an unstinting desire for success, will live on within Stroud Hockey Club. He would be proud to see the progress made with the youngsters and the promotion of the Men's 1st XI at the end of last season. Our thoughts are also with his widow, Jean, who has also been a keen supporter of our club.Posted in General | No Comments

It is that time of year again, when holidays and cricket are put to the sword by the weather - just the right time to look at your winter sporting opportunities. Stroud Hockey Club celebrated its 80th Anniversary this year, their Men?s 1st XI finally winning promotion to North Division 2 after an agonising number of years finishing so close. With such a feather in their cap and the strength of their youngsters coming through, Stroud Hockey Club have added another Men?s side for the forthcoming season. They do need more Men to ensure the 1st XI hold their own in the higher division and also to give the new 3rd XI a sound start.Posted in General | No Comments
