Leeds Hockey Club

Another week of tightly contested games, with all 4 matches settled by 2 goals or less 😯

Pakistan and India lead the way with 2 wins from 2. Belgium are the only team looking to get off the mark, but have been very competitive in both of their matches so far.

No fixtures tomorrow due to the England knock-out World Cup match. Fixtures will be on Wednesday 8th July.

Summer league is under way at Weetwood! ☀️ 🏑

All 4 games were very tight affairs, but Pakistan are the early leaders after beating Argentina 9-5. England and Australia battled it out in an enthralling 4-4 draw.

With very hot weather expected tomorrow, please bring extra water and stay hydrated. Don’t forget to wear suncream and reapply throughout the day to stay protected in the sun.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Tom Liptrot Memorial Day on Saturday. It was a wonderful day full of laughs, hockey and memories of Tom.

Thank you to all the organisers and to Weetwood for hosting.

We raised £1,256 for Yorkshire Cancer Research. Thank you everyone who donated.

🤍💙🤍💙

On 20th June, we come together not just to play hockey, but to celebrate the life of Tom Liptrot – a friend, teammate, and a truly unforgettable part of our club family.

Tom’s passion, kindness, humour, and dedication left a mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His spirit continues to live on in the memories we share, the friendships he built, and the community he helped create.

We invite everyone to join us for a day of hockey, remembrance, and togetherness as we honour Tom in the best way we know how – surrounded by the people and the game he loved.

Matches begin from 12:00 with a full afternoon of fixtures, followed by speeches, socialising, and evening drinks.

From 5pm, we’ll be gathering at Head of Steam, Headingley, where a dedicated room has been reserved for everyone attending. Food will also be available on request, and we’d love to see as many people there as possible to share stories, raise a glass, and remember Tom together.

All player match fees and raffle proceeds will be donated to Yorkshire Cancer Research, supporting a cause that means so much and ensuring Tom’s legacy continues to make a difference.

Whether you knew Tom for years, only crossed paths with him once, or never had the chance to meet him at all, your presence will help make this a truly special day. By coming along, you’ll not only be celebrating a life that meant so much to so many, but also supporting your teammates, friends, and the wider club family as we come together to remember one of our own. Every face in the crowd is a reminder of the community Tom helped build, and everyone is welcome.

We hope to see as many faces as possible.

Remembering Tom Liptrot 💙🤍

“If you cut Tom in half, you’d find the letters LHC running through his core.”

A fierce competitor, a proud teammate, a dedicated father, and one of the driving forces behind the Leeds HC we know today. Tom gave this club his passion, energy, vision, and countless unforgettable memories — on and off the pitch.

From helping transform Farsley HC into Leeds HC, to welcoming new players, touring with the Old Peculiers, and supporting the next generation through our junior section, Tom’s impact on this club is impossible to measure.

A true club legend who will be deeply missed and forever remembered by so many.

Join us on Saturday 20th June at Weetwood from 12pm as we celebrate Tom’s life with a Memorial Day featuring matches, memories, fundraising, and an evening social in Headingley.

We’re also looking for players for the LHC mixed team match — ideally those who knew Tom. If you’d like to play, please text Tim Newman or message the club directly to pass onto Tim.

All friends, family, past and present members are welcome. Let’s give Tom the send-off he deserves.

💙🤍💙🤍
