A fantastic Juniors End of Season Bash and Presentation Day took place at College Meadow on Sunday 19th April. It was a wonderful turnout with huge support from parents and families.
Fun games and matches were followed by a spectacular banquet of home-made food prepared by an army parents in the Clubhouse. The place was bursting at the seams as the happy throng devoured an array of tasty dishes. It was a wonderful sight seeing the whole Junior section and their families out in force and bringing such joy and good spirit to College Meadow.
Cook and Matthews Sports Shop were in attendance with a Pop Up Shop selling a fantastic range of kit and equipment. Our 'Queen Bee' Secretary was busy signing up members for the Summer Term of Coaching and an excellent raffle with superb hockey prizes plus wine, chocolates and toys drew great interest.
