We are absolutely buzzing that Boris has announced we can start sport again. 29th March here we come!

Unfortunately we won't be able to continue the hockey season but we are looking at possible summer tournaments and getting ready for next season.

Cricket is starting in May and we are looking for players to help for a promotion push and football is starting back on the 30th March with our first game back on the 3rd April. Football will be playing on Thursdays & Saturdays and training Tuesdays to try and get the season finished before the end of June after which we will be training twice a week on a Tuesday and Saturday to get us fitter and better for next season.

On 27th October Blockley members had a workshop with Fay Jeffrey to make poppies for Blockley's St Peter’s and St Paul’s Parish Church for their display for Remembrance, this year marking 100 years since the end of World War I. Club members Joy Gaze, Ann Harper, Marie Liptrot, Sally Mayo, Anna Ottaway, Katy Ottaway and Rachel Righton brought out their creative sides and produced a fantastic array of poppies using different methods. The teams will also be marking Remembrance 100 on the pitch by wearing stick on poppies on their shirts and producing a video in support of the Hockey for Heroes social media campaign.

Great Day Out at National Indoor Finals

Sam Jones — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 22:12:45 +0000

Two members of the junior coaching staff attended the National Indoor Hockey Finals at the Copperbox, Olympic Park to watch Blockley’s favourite GB and premier league player, Ed Horler go for the National title - Ed visited Blockley HC in September to open our junior hockey section. As top scorer during the qualifying rounds hopes were high, but indoor hockey is a very different game to outdoor and the plays did not go Ed’s way. However with plenty of International and Olympic hockey stars on show it was a fantastic day out and whetted the appetite for the forthcoming women’s Hockey World Cup taking place in London in Jul/Aug 2018, where GB’s Rio Olympic Gold Medallists will be hoping to take home the silverware. To top the day off perfectly, N.Ingles was lucky enough to win tickets to the World Cup!
