Hockey Tournament Manchester (UK) Saturday 10th December

Nice pics, cathy, I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I had a blast, cheers to steve and DUC for organising it. Well worth the drive (I hope the M1 gang made it back OK).

I’ve put a few pics from the MUni here:

PS did anybody else think there was too much freestyle :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

We’ve had mike in hockey training at the regular Tuesday EMU hockey sessions in Derby but he seems to have been put off by the cold dark winter nights, its a shame that a little bit of ice on the pitch should have that effect.
Good to see the pictures it was another great days hockey and that makes three weekends hockey in a row for me after Kidderminster & Darmstadt - I’m not sure if I’ll know what to do with myself this weekend.
Thanks again to Steve & co for putting on a great event, already looking forward to the next one - I will warn everyone that we’ll be having a floodlit outside Derby tournament probably at the end of February so make sure that you’ve got your thermals ready - more dates to follow

Roland

Another excellent hockey tournament. Thanks to all that turned up. Talking to most of you afterward’s, it sounds as though everyone really enjoyed themselves.

I know it’s getting close to Xmas and so maybe a little hard to break off from the obligatory Christmas shopping, so we were especially pleased to get 25 players descend upon Denton on Saturday for 6 hours of non-stop hockey.

It was nice to see so many beginners and younger ones giving it a go as well and it sounds as though you’ll be coming back for more. A big thanks to all the LUnis who turned up and showed us mere mortals how fast and skillful hockey can be, especially Jonny & Antoine.

I’m pleased a few of you got the chance to stay over at our place after the hockey, as it’s always a shame to rush off after these events without having time to do some socializing.

I’ll post some photos soon.

Maybe we could hold a couple of these tournaments a year, as I’m sure there would be enough interest. I’m sure Roland will remind me of this suggestion early next year.:stuck_out_tongue:

Looks as though the Muni ride the following morning is turning the event into a Hockey and Muni weekend. BTW, I’ve certainly got no problems with that one. We did the same last year and was also a big success.

Steve & Stu

p.s. Yes, I also thought there was too much ‘freestyle’. Mind you, they were holding a hockey stick.:wink:

Couldn’t agree more :slight_smile:

Thanks to Steve, Stu and anybody else who helped get it together.

Stu mentioned that it might be held twice yearly, let’s hope it does!

Cheers,

Roger

I had a great day out on Saturday, thanks chaps and chapesses!
It was my first introduction to hockey and I enjoyed it muchly, I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Although it’s looking like I shan’t be able to come down until after Christmas due to work and a trip abroad for Crimbo. I’ve dug out my stick I used for skate hockey and shall be practising at home until I can make it back to Denton. Once again thanks for a great day and a big thankyou to Steve for the lift to and from the station.

So who were you then? I can’t remember MrBoogiejuice being on the team
lists :slight_smile:

Mr.Boogiejuice is Kit, or Kit is Mr.Boogiejuice (whichever) and he was on my team. The guy with the Dreadlocks.

Steve

… and played really well for a first timer. I think Steve might have put a ringer in his team :smiley:

I think the teams were very well matched, it was a great tournament with some very close games. Thanks Steve and Stu, and the rest of the DUC!

I didn’t take any photos at the hockey, but I did take a few on the Muni ride on Sunday, they’re here
