Chair Chat League action for three teams on Saturday saw a narrow loss for the Ladies 1sts, an ugly win for the Old Boars and a loss to the PMs. Friendly action elsewhere as the rest of the ladies section played each other ahead of their Middlesex league programme starting on Saturday. The men still have two weeks to go before the South league starts but the intensity is building. A good crowd watching the two first teams in action and I caught the last 25 mins of the men’s game in a pulsating encounter with Slough.

Match Reports

Ladies 1’s v Wycombe Rye 1’s Saturday 17th September 2016 Lost 1 -2

A Wry Start The league season didn’t start quite the way the Ladies

1s had hoped with a 2-1 loss at home to Wycombe. The

game started out fairly evenly with Eastcote having the

balance of D entries but failing to convert. Shortly before

the half time break Wycombe were rewarded for their

persistent break through efforts with an excellent reverse

stick tap in from a crash ball across.

The start second half saw Eastcote controlling

possession and creating a lot of opportunities. After

about the 6th short corner a straight strike from Macca hit

the right post and rolled across the line for a goal (even if

the opposition defence were adamant that it hadn’t

crossed the line…) The level game was short lived

however as a lapse in concentration saw Eastcote

overrun at the back allowing an unmarked Wycombe

player to put the ball in at short range.

The team tried to rally but couldn’t quite get back to

positive play and almost conceded a third when a goal

was awarded (through the same back post tap in) but the

player admitted she had kicked it and the goal was

overturned.

Eastcote looked like they may be able to salvage a draw

with another string of corners towards the very end of the

game but unfortunately none were able to find their way

past the Wycombe defence and the game ended in a

loss.

MOM was Josie for an outstanding game at the back.

She showed the composure and strength that we need to

have as a team in order to progress well throughout the

rest of the season. My personal highlight of the game

was when Josie backed her skills so much that she

literally walked past two of the Wycombe players. Well,

why put in more effort than you have to…

We face Milton Keynes away this weekend and will be

looking to put in a strong showing and get some points

on the board.

Ladies 2’s v Ladies 3’s Saturday 17th September Won 2 - 1

A Letter from Amrskp Dear Reader,

It was with both anticipation and apprehension that the

Two's and Coach met in the ladies changing room

(Coops much preferred the Ladies to the Men’s FYI,

something to do with the smell I believe, or lack of it), our

second friendly and the last before league starts, an

important game to a) impress the coach b) consolidate

the system c) discuss whether Brad really is a poor

parent and whether you would rather have Angelina as

your mum or Brad as your dad (this last is not entirely

true as the "news" about Brangelina only broke yesterday

but it might serve as a topic for debate before this week’s

games for those teams who have little to say to each

other, not a particular problem for the ladies 2's) d) be

aware of the significant challenge that our opponents

(The Mighty Three's) would pose, who doesn't like an

interclub fixture? (me, I don't).

Anyway, we had a stirring talk from Coach, a slightly

random warm up and the game started; part of the

strategy had been to pack the midfield with myself and

Pen being a closely positioned unit at the centre, this was

a grand plan and worked quite brilliantly for just over 46

seconds at which point Pen retired hurt having played an

absolute blinder (I believe she had touched the ball) and

taking the adage "quit when you're still at the top "

somewhat too far.

She has claimed subsequently to have scored a reverse

strike top corner goal, cruelly attempting to capitalise on

my generally poor recall regarding what actually happens

during matches (which FYI is precisely why I shouldn't

write match reports..) however I don't believe that this

happened, please speak to Pen if you want further

clarification or contact her on her Twitter handle

#donttrustherjustafantasist

The Mighty Three's were swift to capitalise on our

Captains early retirement and launched several excellent

attacks driving down their left through Leanne , Tonia and

getting the ball to the ever alert Lucy who got several

great strikes goalward leaving Jane to keep us in the

game whilst we slowly sorted ourselves out .

Anyway, the threes played well, with some sterling stuff

from Booky and Leanne in defence and Emma, Tonia

and Nic in midfield and Lucy an ever present threat up

front, but we managed to put them under increasing

pressure.

Nat and her mother combined well on the right, Bobby

and Elspeth were rock solid on the left and Lucy, Sofie,

Freya and Emily worked hard both creatively and

defensively on the front line.

It was 0-0 at half time ( Coach largely unimpressed) , 2-1

at full time (Coach marginally happier) ...I am reliably

informed that our scorers were tireless Bobby and

relentless Sofie , I'm not sure but I think that Lucy might

have scored the 3's goal ??

Anyway it was a well contested game, the 3's played

really well, we sneaked a win, Eye and Des thanks for

umpiring so calmly, and we are all still friends.....apart

from those 3's player who are arachnophobic and may

not have been too impressed with Pen releasing the

spider found in our changing room into theirs...

Yours etc

Men’s 1’s v Slough 1’s Saturday 17th September Won 3 – 2

Red Devils So I get home early Friday night and thought I will start

the dinner before Doris comes home.

All going well and I even got a couple of laps in on F1

Then Doris comes....

So I have cooked dinner would you like to try it?

Doris: that’s nice

Me: I know I cooked it....are you hungry?

Doris : not at the moment..

Me: ok I am going for a shower then we will have dinner

when the football starts

Doris: ok

I then come out the shower, shorts and t shirt on ready

for dinner............then

I have a look in the pot of chilli.............

Me : what are the red things in my chilli

Doris: I have add some flavour

Me: what *%$£ red baby tomatoes...I f*&^%% hate

them.

I know chilli has tomatoes in.....but not the little baby

once. I hate the taste and sight of them.

Doris: I will fish them out THEN

Me: why why why do you have to get add to my food all

the time

Doris : its only baby tomatoes....why are you getting so

angry

Me: ok then that’s it its going out the f@@@@ng window

Doris what??????????

I then got the chilli and begun to throw the chilli out the

window on to the neighbours patio(sorry mark)

Doris : well that’s clever

Me: clever, I give you clever....don’t add baby tomatoes

to my food that I have cooked.

Doris : tell me about it....drama queen

We did not talk until Saturday night.

But on the plus side we beat slough 3-2 in our 2nd

friendly

- shame half of them are vegetarian otherwise I would

have thrown it at them!

Anyway that was my Friday night and I am really looking

forward to this Friday night as I m cooking again.

Past Masters v Sevenoaks Supervets Saturday 17th September Lost 5(3) – 1(0)

. . . ominous start The PM’s faced a long haul around the congested M25

on Saturday and it was not the best preparation to face a

lively Sevenoaks squad who had spent the morning over

leisurely cappuccinos and pastries.

The PM’s fielded a squad of 13 but were carrying a

couple of injuries, the line-up was basically the same as

last year but clearly we had lost some of the old

positional sense and were under early pressure from a

lively home team but Addy, Sukhi, Gav and H managed

to stop/intercept/disrupt their attacking play for the first

quarter and Tim, Dogra and Buddy were getting into

good attacking positions up front.

With 20 minutes gone we suffered a couple of mental

lapses and allowed a free player deep into our “D” on

their right wing – not good as the resultant cross was play

away from the keeper to a spare man at the back for a

couple of soft goals from very similar moves. We were

also under pressure from short corners but held firm and

even had a couple ourselves but both keepers saved

comfortably, although Buddy, L and Lloydy all had half

chances. Just prior to halftime the PMs conceded from

the 3rd

short in a row to wrap up an ineffectual 1st half.

After the break we fared much better with Raj, Pali,

Dogra and Tim getting closer together in the middle and

being able to maintain possession. We forced a couple

of short corners before the Sevenoaks defence failed to

stop a goal bound shot illegally (a foot on the line) and

Buddy stepped up to take his 1st flick of the season. The

keeper “gave him the eye” and left lots of space on his

stick side – Buddy fell for it and the keeper made a great

stick stop down at the foot of his post.

The PM’s weren’t to be denied their goal though and

shortly after we had another short which this time was

lifted into the net by Dogra during the 3rd

phase of play.

Alas it transpires to be too little too late and as we

pushed up to try to redress the balance we were caught

on the break and conceded another short from which a

good goal was scored with a deflected shot. In the last

10 minutes the home team extended their lead when

outnumbering the PM defence by 5 to 2 to put the icing

on their cake and score the 5th goal.

MotM this week is not that easy, all 13 players put their

all into the game and luck was not with us (short corner

count Sevenoaks 15 to PMs 3) but for his solid consistent

performance throughout it goes to Sukhi.

Eagles v Ramgharia Slough Saturday 17th September Lost 0 - Less than 8

A Deflector The first outing for the Eagles in the 2016/7 season was

a eagerly anticipated affair. With 3 not available till the

8th October and one even later, clearly the anticipation

was too much for them. However as usual the new

season brings a new batch of colts with two new boys

joining us for this first game Matt and Sherwin, both

played really well and settled into the team very quickly.

The game started well with some great hockey Ash and

Childsy connected well and gave great service to Matt

and Rob H up front who had some great shots at goal,

Surenga also played very well moving the ball effectively

up the pitch and feeding the forwards. Geoff made some

awesome saves coming off his line and threatening the

forwards well….. "Hang on I thought Z was the Eagles

keeper?..” I hear you say, you are right Z was, Geoff

agreed to play for the opposition and was extremely

effective as keeping us out!!

We made quite a few forays into the opposition D with

Geoff saving at least 5 great shots. As the 1st half wore

on the opposition started to penetrate the Eagles half but

the defence managed to keep the opposition out of the

goal with Laz, Mikey and Mr Chairman working well in the

D and connecting well with Sherwin Z also made some

great saves, but a goal slipped in off Zs hand pads. This

broke the deadlock and the attacks seem to come more

and more frequently, the defence and keeper kept a lot

out but 4 more goals were conceded in the 1st half.

At half time the usual team talk was accompanied with

Jelly babies and guidance for Geoff to stay on his line.

Which he ignored!

At the end of the game the opposition captain

approached me reassuringly and stated that if they had

their regular keeper the score line would have been 6-6.

We shall see as we have a return match with the same

opposition at the Wrexham fortress in Slough, clearly

there will be more new colts plus some guests as some

of the regular Eagles have not worked out that the

hockey season has started.

So stay tuned for part 2 next week.

Old Boars v Richmond Vets Saturday 17th September Won 2-1

Old Boers No More The pre-match build up to the Old Boars’ inaugural game

of the 2016-17 campaign was dominated by the news

that our two ancient SAFFAs had packed their bags and

scarpered. After 3 memorable years, Messrs Jackson

and Pell have decided to wander off into the Veldt,

perhaps never to return, to hunt new game – they also

had some weak excuse about reducing their match-day

commute.

I’d like to go on record and tell you all what fantastic

team mates they’ve both been and how much they’ve

contributed to the emergence of the Old Boars’ story…I’d

like to…but sadly, it wouldn’t be true!

Of course, I jest. We will certainly miss these two Old

Boers; with their tough(mostly illegal) tackling, their

umpire baiting and their fusty, Manning-esque opinions.

But we definitely won’t miss the faint aroma of urine that

was starting to permeate the changing room.

As if by some divine, providential force, the fixtures have

thrown up an instant opportunity for all his former

teammates to show Pelly the appreciation and respect he

deserves; Reading Rustlers visit Eastcote on

the 1st October. A word of advice…don’t forget your

shinnies, Pelly.

In the match against Richmond, the Old Boars

squandered numerous chances to kill off the opposition

in the first half and finally laboured to a 2-1 victory. The

goals came from a Mark Defanis flick and a Simon

Samuel short corner. We enjoy/need a rest week this

weekend.

As manager of the England over 65’s who have just won European Gold at Southgate let me share with you one of our secrets, that could benefit all of us who play or have played sport. It would in fact benefit anyone with issues around back pain, arthritis, and/or lack of energy.

We have been supported by “Xenca“ for the past 4 years who have recommended two products to us and which the majority of the squads are using. I swear by them. The first is Collagen and the second Five a day + V. Both are natural products. If you have a club member in the squad talk to them about it.

The EastcoNet 15 24th September 2016

General Information Children under the age of 6 can only take part in these Sunday morning sessions if they are accompanied at all times by their parent. Also, please ensure that your children do bring appropriate protective equipment, in particular, shin pads – mouth guards are recommended. I would also like to remind parents that on rare occasions due to other hockey commitments, we cannot always guarantee organised supervision for all our colts age groups during the Sunday morning slot at the Astroturf. In light of this, please, before leaving your child/children, ensure that the appropriate coaching staff are in attendance. In the event of your child not having supervision please enquire as to whether they might join another age group (child age and numbers permitting) or that failing this, assume that the session is not running and that your child will not be supervised. If this arises we cannot take responsibility for your child’s well-being. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience such situations may cause but despite having a committed and motivated coaching staff, it is not always possible to plan for the unexpected. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me. It is important that the coaches know whether your child is currently suffering from, has recently suffered from or developed any injury, illness or medical condition that may be affected by or affect their participation in hockey. Please also indicate here if your child is receiving medication with details and dosage, and / or has any specific dietary requirements. This information will be shared with coaches and other appropriate staff, therefore it is not confidential. Please ensure that if there are any changes to this information, managers / trainers are advised accordingly. CHILD PROTECTION POLICY Eastcote Hockey Club fully supports England Hockey Child Protection Policy. A copy of the clubs policy on this issue is on our website under the Colts section. We expect parents of those children aged under 8 to be present during coaching sessions. Parents/carers are advised that, at the end of each training session, they or a nominated responsible adult must promptly collect their child(ren) (under 11) from the pitches, as we do not want them to be unsupervised in the car park or Kings College Road. If a child is not collected after a training session or match, the coach(es) will contact the parents/carers on the telephone number(s) on the club's records. If the parents cannot be contacted, the coach(es) will not leave the child(ren) unsupervised and will, if necessary, advise the club's Child Protection Officer of the situation. When Colts teams attend away fixtures and tournaments, it is the parent's or carer's responsibility to make arrangements and ensure that their child(ren) has a lift to and from the other club and, if necessary, collection from Eastcote Hockey Club on their return. It is preferable that parents/carers attend matches and tournaments with their children, in particular u14s .When parents arrange for a third party to provide transport for their child(ren), they should inform the coach(es) before leaving Eastcote HC of the name of their child(ren) and the name and contact telephone numbers of both parties, so that they can be contacted if necessary, and the coach(es) should make a note of such arrangements and information. If it is not possible for such arrangements to be made for any given match or tournament, then Eastcote HC regrets that a child(ren) may not be able to attend the fixture/tournament, as the hockey club and the coach(es) cannot take responsibility for the child(ren)'s well-being. Please note: It is not the responsibility of Eastcote Hockey Club or the Eastcote coach(es) to act in loco parentis. The coach's role is to organise and manage the team(s) chosen to represent the hockey club. When taking a team to away fixtures and tournaments, the coach(es) should ensure that arrangements have been made so each child (not accompanied by their parent/carer and not travelling in the club's minibus - u14s/u16s) has a return lift to Eastcote HC. The clubs coaches will take photographs or video at some tournaments of the team and these may be published on the Clubs website. The consent form confirms your agreement to this , but if you have any questions or objections please let your coach know immediately. CODE OF CONDUCT FOR CHILDREN/PARENTS & CARERS/SPECTATORS Children Respect opponents Respect your fellow players Respect the Coaches Always be on time for coaching sessions and games Wear suitable kit and clothing –inc shinpads; gumshields are recommended Always bring along a drink – water or a sports drink

It is hoped that everyone will play to the best of their ability and that teams are successful. However, we believe that it is more important to enjoy sport and play fairly. The following Code of Conduct and Rules have been written to uphold the aims of Eastcote HC and to help and protect all junior players, umpires, spectators and parents involved in the playing of hockey regardless of whether it is in league games, friendly matches, or training sessions The club believes that it is important that its members, coaches, administrators, volunteers and parents associated with the club should, at all times, show respect, be encouraged to be open and to share any concerns or complaints about any aspect of the club with the coach or the appropriate committee member. Each individual is accountable for his or her own actions. Whether you are playing, watching, coaching or umpiring any match, it is your personal responsibility to treat your own team, opposition players, coaches, spectators and the umpires with respect and consideration before, during and after the match. Team Members Compete for enjoyment. Do their best. Show team spirit and positive sporting behaviour. Play within the rules at all times Respect colleagues, coaches, opponents and the decisions of officials. Keep to agreed timings for training and competitions or inform their coach or team manager if they are going to be late. Wear suitable kit (including shin pads and gum shields) for training and match sessions, as agreed with the coach/team manager. Pay any fees for training or events promptly. Junior members are not allowed to smoke on club premises or whilst representing the club at competitions. Junior members are not allowed to consume alcohol or drugs of any kind on the club premises or whilst representing the club. HOCKEY KIT Some equipment and clothing is provided such as balls, coloured bibs and cones, together with sticks for beginners.

http://proshopsport.com/eastcote-hc-12-c.asp

All children must wear shin pads and preferably a gum shield at all times when playing. Ultimately the decision is left with parents in this respect.
