A huge EH Trophy Semi Final vs Norwich City finally sees a HOME tie at The Meadow for our loyal supporters to cheer on.

Last season the lads triumphant Road To Lee Valley consisted of a blistering run of HOME fixtures (except Waltham Forest - which is practically home as it's just through the Blackwall Tunnel!) This season the story has been quite the opposite with all our fixtures after Round 1 AWAY. Taking in the sights of Guernsey and Gloucestershire along the way. nevertheless we are once again one step away from our second consecutive final.
After a hard fought 2-1 victory against Wotton-under-Edge in the Quarter Finals of the England Hockey Trophy on the 26/02/17. The Club now faces Norwich City HC in the Semi Finals on Sunday the 19th March at College Meadow. The winners progress to the final at Lee Valley Stadium: The Wembley of Hockey at the Olympic Park in East London. Our opponents would be Trojans or Didsbury Northern (our Semi Final opponents last season whom we demolished 6-0).
Another Semi-Final appearance is a huge achievement for everybody at the Club. We've already comprehensively dispatched our opponents from last years Final -Guernsey so let's go all the way. The extraordinary efforts by the Committee and so many others have led us to this point. We're continuing to grow, develop and expand - from our Under 6s to our Vets to our Back To Hockey Programme to our Elite Hockey teams.

This Hockey Family is on the up, hear our roar.
Get down to the Club and add your voice to the fore.
One thing on our mind and that's winning only
This time we'll leave with the Hockey Trophy.
