We're back in full swing this weekend with our first 1's Double Header of 2023 come down and support your 1's:
16:00 - Ladies 1 v Doncaster
18:00 - Men's 1 v Doncaster

The Men 1s netted 4 goals away at Beeston last Saturday coming away 4 - 0 winner and with 3 more points, the Ladies 1s scored 3 on the road at Liverpool Sefton (and big shout out to #homegrown Ruby Roberts who bagged a brace) but sadly came away from a 4 - 3 game with no points but with a positive spirit ready to go again this week.

Congratulation's to Jack Royall who made his Men's league debut v Preston and is one of our Timperley Talent Academy players who joins us from North Staffs HC. Many of you will know Jack's Mum, Jo, co owner of Eighteen Hockey. Congratulations to #HomeGrown Isabel Mawby and Hollie Simms making their Ladies 2s debuts up at Carlisle last week too.

Other home games to catch today including table toppers: L2 v Fylde (12.15), M3 v Knutsford (13.45) and the big league game at 13.45 Men's 4s v Men's 5s.

Hockey highlights
• Ladies 2s get big win on the road at Carlisle and stay 5 points clear at the top of NW Div. 1 and play Fylde 2’s today at 12.15 so lets get behind the girls in their push for promotion to NW Premier Division and good young blues debuts
• Men’s 3s notch up another 6 goals v Bowdon but drop to 2nd in NW Div 4 East 2 points behind Sale but with a game in hand - they go again at 13:45 today v Knutsford and seeing if they can keep another clear sheet and notch up the goal tally !
• Ladies O35 recreated the L1’s of the old North Prem days and dispensed with Boots 7 – 1 into the Quarter Finals of EH Masters O35 T1 v Didsbury away on 5th March keeping up the Club's brilliant track record of Masters success
• Boys U18 had a good practice game v the Timperley Talent Academy and are also into the EH T2 Quarter Finals v Wakefield at home next Sunday 1pm, would be great to get a good crowd down to support the lads
• Girls U14 took the trip to Leeds in the EH T2 (plate) in their stride and had a bit of a goal fest winning 8- 0 and they are also now into the Quarter Finals and play Doncaster away next Sunday

Match Day Sponsors !
It's also a real pleasure to have two very special Match Day Sponsors today – John and Janet Wood – they should really be called Mr and Mrs Timperley as the Club runs through their blood – true blue bloods!

We thank them for sponsoring today’s matches and for running the legendary match day cake stall thats raised over £k over the past few years to raise funds towards Club projects.

John and Janet’s support, commitment and continued passion to get involved and help sets a fine example to lead the way for club members of all ages. We need more John and Janet’s to help keep hockey a vibrant and growing sport – so why not follow their example and step up and make a difference to hockey at THC and get involved in supporting events, helping do the 101 jobs that #makehockeyhappen or take on a THC role.
