Redditch Hockey Club

The fixture lists for the 2009/2010 season have been announced-and it has been confirmed that Redditch Mens Firsts will be playing in West Midlands 1 rather than West Midlands Premier as anticipated.

This confirms the relegation of the Mens Firsts at the end of last season, despite being reassured otherwise by the MRHA towards the end of the campaign.

Redditch Firsts begin their campaign at home to Whitchurch, the seconds will make the trip to Berkswell & Balsall Common on 3rd October, and the thirds will start at home against Bloxwich. All games will be played on Saturday 3rd October.

Redditch Hockey Club secured their second 5-1 win in seven days after a dominant performance at Evesham Arrows on Wednesday evening.

Redditch Hockey Club enjoyed their most convincing victory in recent times on Wednesday night, after thrashing Evesham Arrows 11-4 in their first Summer League fixture of the year.

After a season long battle against relegation in the main MRHA West Midlands Premier league through the winter, the Kingfishers seemed to relish in the relatively low pressure environment of Summer League, playing with style and great confidence to the delight of Summer captain Chris Thomas.

Boys & Girls - Game on - respect to UOBHC…

Redditch Ladies First team’s good recent form came to an end on Saturday after going down 3-0 at Old Silhillians in the Worcs LHL Division 1.

Fresh from a 2-1 win against Harborne the previous weekend, despite having only nine players on the field, hopes were high against a team that were several points behind the Reds in the league.

Skipper Andy Brooks’ late, late goal secured safety in the MRHA West Midlands Premier for Redditch Hockey Club, after a nervy final game of the season against Old Halesonians.

Safety will come as a huge relief to Wayne Beard’s boys, who started the season full of optimism for a possible promotion push, only to quickly realise that a relegation scrap was a more realistic season prospect.
