After a narrow defeat (well by three goals and we did draw the second half) against City of York in the first round of the EH Masters Trophy, the veterans of Leeds Adel HC fell into the Shield (a glamorous title for those first round losers in the Trophy tournament).  A home tie was a priority as the other teams entering the Shield were primarily from south of Birmingham, so with an air of inevitability the Read more

Ladies 3s had been gearing up to play Barnsley away since the 3-1 defeat they’d suffered at home at the start of the season. Looking at Barnsley’s results so far, the team were not taking any chances. With news from Pocklington scoring eleven goals the week before, Adel wanted to up their goal difference!

A mixed bag of results this weekend with the weather making an intervention along the way too. The ladies 1s and Mens 3s suffered the same fate as a waterlogged pitch in Huddersfield put paid to any competitive action on the pitch and consigned the teams to a rearranged Sunday match in the New Year in all probability.  The ladies 4s were also postponed as opponents Bradford University gave advance warning of being unable to Read more
