Future National Champions Pathway Programme (FNCPP)

On Sunday 19th November 2023, at 4:30pm, Wanderers HC’s Mixed Cup team will be playing its first knock-out round within England Hockey’s Mixed Championships, with the lofty ambition of kick-starting their campaign to become national mixed champions.

We will be facing up against Spencer HC, who have the unenviable pressure of having to defend their title from last year. Luckily, free from such mental baggage, Wanderers expect to be able to express themselves freely with some innovative passages of play on the day.

It should be a fun game to watch, and we’d welcome any and all support down at our home pitch in Battersea Park!

Squad details:

After extensive scouting across the 2022-23 mixed season and various mixed seasons over summer, these 16 stars have been selected to represent the best of the club on the national stage and offered a place on our breakthrough Future National Champions Pathway Programme.

There are many up-and-coming players here, who the club truly believe could be generational talents. And therefore, whilst the primary aim is to target silverware here, we also hope that the squad can take back useful experiences and skills back to their respective Saturday and Sunday teams across the club.

The club would love to see this ambitious and courageous squad supported on the big day, and what easier than a home match, so please pop down and see the big match under the lights. Probably one to wrap up for! Vuvuzelas welcome. 

Post-game, we expect to visit a nearby pub for some food and drink; everyone very welcome!
