Sunny Sheffield supplied the smiles

Sunday 10th July - Abbeydale sports club, Sheffield

This morning Chesterfield took 3 teams of Under 8s to Sheffield to play in a minis tournament against teams from Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham, Chapeltown & North Notts.
This is the third event in succession for the U8s and they have been wonderfully successful, providing the players with quick fire matches, action, goals, and a great introduction to hockey.

Not only did Chesterfield manage to field 3 teams, but we managed to introduce a number of new players who have joined either through the original Hockey Heroes, Hockey Heroes 2 or just from our summer term junior sessions - well done to all of you!

After about an hour of game time the water cannons came on to water the pitch and the kids decided that staying on and getting drenched was the best thing (they werent wrong!). We all tired after the water soaking and as the sun rose higher, but managed to finish the morning with everyone smiling and enjoying their hockey.

Thanks to Sheffield for organising a successful morning on junior hockey and thanks to the oppositions for making it enjoyable for the kids. Big thanks to coaches & umpires - Heather, Gareth, Charlie & Steve. Lastly thanks to all the parents who came and watched - we hope you enjoyed it, and appreciate your support!
