Chairman's ChatWanted – One Point!
Congratulations to the Men’s 1sts on their splendid 2 - 1 win over St Albans last Saturday which leaves the team requiring one point from their last four games to clinch the East Premier A title and a place in the national league play-offs. Hopefully this point will be gained away to Havering this Saturday (8 March). Havering struggled somewhat in the first half of the season but since the Christmas break have played well with their best performances being an away win over St Albans and a draw with Cambridge City.
It is also congratulations to Ladies’ Colts A and Ladies’ Development. Colts A continued their fine run with a 3 – 0 win over Broadland. Since Christmas the team’s record is – Played 6, Won 5, Drawn 1, GF 12, GA 1. Meantime the Development squad beat Lowestoft 5 – 0 to maintain their five points lead over Pelicans at the top of the Norfolk Development League. Very encouraging signs for the future!
Other good results last weekend included the Ladies’ Colts B returning to winning ways with a 3 – 0 away win over Lowestoft Railway 2nds, the Men’s 2nds maintaining their promotion hopes with a 4 -1 away win over Cambridge City 2nds, the Men’s 5ths 9 – 1 thrashing of Crane 2nds, the Men’s 6ths 5 - 4 away win over Norwich Union 4ths and last, but certainly not least, the U13 Girls coming second in the Norfolk Minis hosted by HMHC.
This Saturday the Ladies’ 1sts play only their second home game since 24 November when they entertain Barnes Hounslow & Ealing (12.30pm) and with two more home games after Easter to round off their season they will be hoping for points to lift them from the bottom of the table. The young squad has made considerable progress over the season and it would be good to see them sign off in style over the next month.
We are in for a busy Sunday with the following games at Weybread. Please come along to cheer our teams to victory!
11.30 U18 Boys v Chelmsford National Cup
12.00 Senior Magpies Men’s Veterans v England LX Club
(the 10th anniversary of this annual fixture)
1.30 Men’s Veterans v Holcombe National Cup
2.00 U15 Girls v Saffron Walden National Plate
Meantime the U18 Girls will be away to Dereham (1.00) in the National Cup and the U11 Girls at Norwich City HC in the Norfolk Minis. Best of luck to all our teams.
Best wishes to club vice-president John Barber for a speedy recovery from his recent operation to replace both his hips. We want you back at Weybread John before the end of the season!
I know I’m always banging on about social functions and here I go again - with no apologies (!) - after thanking everyone who supported last Saturday’s very enjoyable Race Night. I draw your attention to the following event which I hope you will be able to attend. Last time we held a Silent Auction we raised nearly £2000. I will shortly be issuing details of the Lots to be on offer.
