Many thanks to the geniuses at Yorkshire hockey HQ for reshuffling the league this season, so that everyone now spends their Saturdays driving up and down the M1. As Chris Rea once said: “This is the road to Hall(am).” And Chapeltown, Worksop, and Wakefield. This week it was our turn to play Hallam 8s, having been starved of goals in our game against their 7s a week earlier. A few of the opposition looked suspiciously Read more
Having dispatched two of our tougher mid-table opponents over the past few weeks ( 7 – 3 victory against Halifax 1’s and a 6 -3 Victory against Sheffield Hallam 3’s). The first team squad were home against bottom of the league Grimsby. However, due to a draw against them a few seasons ago which caused much upset we were aware they were a bogey team.

Saturday saw 9 senior games with the mens 4s once again suffering due to the opposition not being able to raise a side. A hastily arranged knockabout game for the 10.30 slot at least ensured a big crowd were present for the following 2 games featuring our ladies and mens 1st teams. The game at High Noon was the showdown between Leeds Adel and City of York with the home team assembling a squad of Read more

“Tangerine Dream” (ask your dad/granddad)…..pictured left to right: Theo, Ben W, Finlay, Patrick(c), Simon, Adam, Ben C, Paddy, Max, Tom, …. and Sholto. A huge well done to our boys’ u16 team, who finished third in their group of the Yorkshire round of the English HA cup. It’s the first time (in years?) Adel has had an u16 team competing at this level, and a good measure of the club’s overall development. Despite missing Read more
There is a new executive chef at this north Leeds bistro, so we thought we’d swing by and sample the fare. And we were not disappointed. If you haven’t been yet, “hockeyclub” offers a new concept in Saturday afternoon dining… it’s one of the first North Korean pop-ups in the U.K, bringing the authentic taste of the forced labour camp to the good people of LS16. I ordered the signature dish, “garlic pasta”, and so Read more
