2023 Summer Hockey: A Requiem (almost)

We had the final Sunday mixed session this past weekend, and have our final Wednesday night mixed session this week.

Please come along (Wed 26th July, 8-9pm on Battersea Park’ astro pitch) – whether you’re a veteran Wanderer, looking to join the club this year, or want to have a one-off hit of the hockey ball after some time out. Don’t miss out on this last chance to enjoy summer hockey! We hope to see you there.

A big thank you from everyone to Harry Wilson for organising a great few months of weekly Sunday hockey – it’s been a blast.

Despite requests, we’ve failed to acquire a single team photo across all 30 games. However, we have these special treats to remember these early summer days by:

If you are sad at the thought of mixed hockey ending for a while (back in late September), please consider the option of joining a men’s or ladies team. We have trials coming up on Saturday 5th August (11am-1pm) at Battersea Park. If you can’t make that date, don’t worry, you can instead come along to a training session in August (the captains will send you the details and timings etc). Please fill out this form if you’d like to join one of the Saturday teams.

Cheers.

We are running summer social hockey (both Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons) from May until early August), so please come along! On Wednesdays, we play at Battersea Park from 8pm to 9pm. On Sundays, we play in a combined social hockey group/league (across a few clubs, including us and Barnes), with games held at Battersea Park Astro, usually at 1:30pm and 3pm. If you’re interested in coming along, please drop us a message here and we’ll come back to you. Please also fill in the join-us form, if you want to trial for a Saturday team next season!

We should be having a club day/Cup of Nations (friendly mixed hockey intra-club tournament) this July/August, with details to follow!

Trials!

We will be running trials for another enthusiastic intake of players this August. It will be at Battersea Park Astro on Saturday the 5th August 2023, between 11am and 1pm. If you can sign up via the link here, that would really help us manage trials! We’ll come back in due course with further details about trials and exact timings for each part of the club.
