Ladies 1s win 4-1 with Amy Hicks leading them to victory! MOM going to a team that is indecisive with Caroline Mary, Rose Harriet and Jennifer Hodges all having joint points, DOD to Mads Smags.
Ladies 5s suffered a 4-0 loss away at Leatherhead. Big thanks to Freddie Stacy for coming along early to umpire and to Amanda Harris for stepping into Goal. Mom unanimously goes to Fran Robinson for putting in a relentless fight and great running in midfield. Dod goes to Ellie Coward for thinking Manda’s child was called Rocky Road.

The L7 are currently leading for the ladies and the M4 leading for the men’s. It is a very tight contest for the men though, so depending on how the next couple of weekends go, it could swing one of many ways! So get down to the Clubhouse and help your team to the main victory that matters this season!
Heads up that the last Saturday that the Clubhouse is open this season is 25th March… only 2 more Saturdays to go! Any teams playing after this date will have to organise home teas in a local pub. Please talk to Becky Reid if you have any questions about this.
Wedding Bells!
Congratulations (in advance) to Wanderers Social Secretary and M6 player Oli Dobbs who is marrying L3s GK Lou Matson this Saturday in Belfast.

Wanderers on TOUR *in London!
The Richmond Summer Social is a 1-day multi-sport festival in Richmond park. Hockey is played on grass and this year there are men’s, women’s and mixed tournaments. This is followed by a festival style party with DJs in the rugby grounds.
The L7s went last year and had an awesome time. It would be fantastic to have as many Wanderers teams entered as possible. Entry is super cheap and each team can be up-to 10 players. L6s and L7s are already entered, get involved here: https://www.summersocial.co.uk/
Rubik’s Cube night at the Clubhouse THIS SATURDAY!
The Saturday you’ve all been waiting for is nearly here! This Saturday is Rubik’s Cube night at the Clubhouse! Eds and Clapham Common hockey clubs will also be attending in what should be record numbers, so it should be a great night!
Dress code: Everyone wears 6 items of clothing in 6 different colours with the aim is of ending up with 6 items of one colour at the end of the night.
Colours that must be worn are red, white, yellow, green, blue, orange and can be any piece of clothing you like!
Social will start at 7.30pm but the clubhouse is open all day.

Shudder when it’s your turn to umpire? Try to get out of it by offering cash? Well save those pennies and go on the level 1 course!
The level 1 course is accessible to all and is great for teaching you the basics and upping confidence.
The entry-fee is refunded by the club on successful passing of the classroom and practical elements of the award (Level 1, assessed).
There are several courses running locally (details below). Please sign up before they sell out!
Details: https://www.englandhockey.co.uk/courses.asp?section=296
Surrey Umpire Assoc are offering those who have sat the L1 assessment the opportunity to be assessed on 25th Feb. If you have sat the L1 qualification and are awaiting assessment then please get in touch with Scrappy by Sunday evening.
