SPORTSWEAR

Our new Club Shop, in conjunction with Playerlayer, our kit suppliers, is now live. There are lots of exciting products on the site  for you to see and hopefully buy!

Obviously at this time of year deliveries are not quite as quick as normal so please order any requirements asap to ensure they are delivered by the end of August. Shirts have been designed so we can integrate them gradually to all players and there should not be a problem with slightly different styles this season, but of course we would like you to change to the new style. Socks will be delayed slightly as we incurred a technical problem, but that’s sorted and they will be the same as before. Goalkeeper tops with logo, will be held by the Club. equipment@magpies-hockey.co.uk

In the ladies section there are eco friendly leggings, made from re-cycled plastic water bottles, which are designed for training, yoga, jogging and leisure wear etc and not as a base layer. Last season PL’s top seller. They are priced at £60 but to introduce the concept, PL have very generously agreed an introductory offer of £30, if you quote HMHC-PL2407 when ordering. There will be more eco friendly products in the future – the way to go.

MAGPIES GOLF DAY

The club’s seventeenth annual golf day was held at Bungay GC on Thursday 11 July with a total of 24 teams of four taking part in men’s, ladies’ and mixed sections.

The club’s thanks go to hosts Bungay GC and to all 96 players for helping to make the day a big success raising £1400 for club funds.

Congratulations to the overall winners ‘NUGGATTS’ (translated as Norwich Union Golfing Society) with a record score of 129 Stableford points.

The multi-talented foursome of Pete Thomas (captain), Bruce McQuade, Andy Bingham and Sam Bingham has also been known to play a bit of hockey in their time! Club president Daphne Beckett kindly made the presentations of vouchers and wine.

In third place in the men’s section were ‘Where, Where Is Nick Moss?’ (answer – at work!) with Pete Thornett (captain), Andrew Bedwell, Jack Caswell-Dodd and Ben Gowing flying the flag for HMHC.
