End of season wrap up
As we approach the end of April the league season is at last at an end. In various ways and overall the season has been a resounding success.
Uppermost in the achievements we have had the second XI winning their league and the reintroduction of the school match into the calendar, the latter being an extremely important part of our future. Following the difficulties the seconds experienced last season Rob Merry has done an exceptional job in leading his team to the league title with their snapping at the first XIs heels in the league below. Players coming into the club will now play a very good standard of hockey throughout the club ensuring keen competition for places.
Other than the legaue winning game on the 18th a Cranleigh "associates" school side helped open and christen the Westcott astro at the prep school on the 17th with the team comprising current school boys and girls, female and male OCs of various ages. The spread of ages and talents was a first and we rose to the occasion defeating a strong assembled opposition.
The summer leagues will be shortly underway with mens, ladies and mixed leagues all fully subscribed.
As we therefore break off for what I hope is a relaxed summer for all of you we as a club can be proud of our achievements both on and off the field with there being a perceptable buzz taking us towards our aim of becoming an all embracing and friendly club.
The work does not stop here though as we all need to encourage friends and fellow hockey players to join and to convince anyone we hear who may be thinking of leaving to think again.
Thank you all for making the 2008/9 season one to remember
