Chesterfield 1 v Doncaster 2

This Saturday sees the return of the hockey league season as Chesterfield men's 1st team host Doncaster 2s at St Mary’s school, in the last game of the day, in a 2.30pm start.

It has been a summer of change at CHC with the departures of the manager,coach,assistant coach,captain and vice captain but never the less the squad have been high in spirits and hard at it on the training ground ready to hit the ground running at the beginning of the season.

The young lads (u18s) in the team look fit and raring to go in what will be only their third season playing 1st team hockey, and with that will come more maturity with a greater responsibility being placed upon them.

The new team manager. Callum Taylor says ‘ I’m really looking forward to getting the season underway, the lads have been great pre-season and with a few fresh faces joining the team and a larger squad now than in previous years competition for places will demand a higher standard to be set by us on and off the pitch’.

"The support from the crowd in previous years has helped us grind out results or come from behind in tense moments so it would be great to receive the continued support as the lads are certainly putting in the same effort and hard work behind the scenes."

Chesterfield HC looks forward to welcoming Doncaster for this seasons curtain opener.
