General News

 

 

October sees the launch of Back to Hockey – a new programme aiming to attract over 15,000 women back to one of the UK’s most popular Olympic sports.

Manchester Moss Park Hockey Club will be hosting informal sessions aimed at women who are looking for a great way to stay in shape and have some fun in a team environment without needing  to commit to ongoing club membership, regular training or competition schedules. The sessions will be for an hour and will be followed by an opportunity to relax and socialise at a local pub.  

 
The campaign is backed by the England Hockey Board (EHB), the sport’s official National Governing Body, and will be offered by hundreds of clubs and leisure centres across the country.
 
Back to Hockey starts 6th October, 6pm -7pm, every Thursday until 24th November at Trinity High School. (See the directions page for further information) Changing rooms are available, sticks will be provided and the session will be run by a qualified coach.  We're only minutes from the city centre and 100m from the Oxford Road bus routes.

The Final Scores

General News

Although there are a few more points to be played for within the league both Moss Park teams have finished their seasons for 2011. The first team made a successful reentry to the 1st Division finishing a credible 5th place. After three wins in their last three games they've made sure they will be considered a force to be reckoned with next year. The second eleven also had a strong season and although they ended up relying on results from other teams they are now looking forward to more 2nd Division hockey next year.


With both teams promoted last year this has been an excellent result for the club and one we can build on next season. For those wanting to keep in touch over summer Louise is organising regular running sessions (see below) and summer league will be on as normal.
