This season is an exciting one in the history of Cambridge South HC. We are entering our 80th anniversary year, with a new "home" pitch and clubhouse, courtesy of Long Road College and Cantabs RFC. It took some effort over many months to establish these now arrangements, thanks to many on the committee, and we continue to work to iron out the remaining challenges to make the experience of playing and socialising with CSouth as enjoyable as possible.
We are now the largest hockey club in Cambridge, with the ladies side continuing to expand and new players coming into the men's squads again after the sad...and hopefully temporary...demise of the Men's 5th team. The Mixed team has made a reappearance thanks to Neil Sneade and Diane Eichelsheim. We are still the friendliest club, enhanced by joint events with our Cantabs hosts, and imaginative ideas from our social secretaries Emma Fairlie and Laurie Haslop.
Nearly all of our teams are at the business ends of their respective tables... OK the L2's, L3's, and M4's are at the wrong business end, but their games are never dull, with loads of goals ;-) almost every Saturday. The Mens and Ladies 1sts lead the way, with both of them in their Div 3 promotion hunts. No pressure.
The Goal King race seems to be between Jess Robins (20 incl scoring 5 goals THREE times so far ! ) and Rob Barton.
Coming up we have....
- 3rd Jan - The club Christmas Challenge Match - sign up here.
- 10th Jan - Leagues restart for the Ladies teams and Mens 1sts. Friendlies for the rest
I hope you all have a great Christmas break, and emerge blinking into 2015, raring to go for the Part 2 of the season.
