Remnants Hockey Club

Hockey during the eclipse! Good to be back on the pitch and enjoying the golden glow

The summer break means more social times - great to meet up yesterday for book swaps and bantz 🤪 ***rsports

The season may have finished but the committee are continuing to work hard behind the scenes to prepare for the future!

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

The world feels complicated right now, and hard-won progress is being challenged.

But Pride is also about joy, celebrating our existence, our friendships, and our love is itself an act of resistance.

Love is stronger than fear, stronger than hate, and stronger than anything that tries to divide us.

Let’s love fully.

We’re running our summer hockey sessions roughly every two weeks on Wednesdays throughout May, June, July and August, and we’d love for you to join us!

Each session runs from 7–8pm and takes place on the hockey pitch at Colfe’s School. The pitch can be accessed via the leisure centre car park or through the school entrance on Horn Park Lane.

The cost is £5 per session, or £25 for all sessions.

Looking for a fun way to enjoy the summer sunshine? Come and join our summer hockey sessions!

East London W8 4 - Remnants 2

Season finale done! The result didn’t quite go our way, but we played just as well as they did for large parts. It was a bit unlucky that they managed to get 4 while we only got 2. It could easily have gone the other way.

There was great effort from everyone. The best thing about the match was definitely lots of energy, communication, and positivity. Despite the result, we finished the season proud of the performance and enjoying the game.

A very special mention goes to Aurelie, Player of the Match, who played her final game after an incredible 22 years. A true club legend! She will be hugely missed by everyone on the pitch.

Final score: Remnants 2 - London Royals W2 0

Great match to be part of, especially since we were up against our favourite team to play, friendly, fun, and competitive in the best way.

It was a strong team performance, with great energy across the pitch. We moved the ball well, supported each other, and created some great chances.

Our two goals came from excellent teamwork and persistence, and we kept pushing while staying solid at the back. They gave us a good challenge and created some strong chances too.

It was a really enjoyable and friendly match. We had a lot of fun and will take the positive energy into the next game.

Remnants 1-Honor Oak W3 4

They started quickly and caught us a little cold with a goal in the opening two minutes, then added two more in the 16th and 31st minutes from short corners, and we had plenty to handle in the D, with the ball often arriving at our feet.

It was a great team effort, with everyone tracking back and helping defensively. We found ourselves a little pinned back and didn’t manage to get forward as much as we wanted, although we still created some strong opportunities at times.

A special mention to Rhiannon, who had an outstanding game. She ran tirelessly, fought for every ball, and scored her first goal for the team 17 minutes into the second half, earning a well-deserved Player of the Match. Lou also made her debut in goal and did brilliantly, staying confident and making some really important saves. Honor Oak added one more late goal, but we kept playing with the same energy.

We had fun and enjoyed the match. Heads up and on to the next one.

Final score: 5-0 against Honor Oak W2

Not our day, but not for lack of effort. They were quick, VERY young, and attacking from start to finish, and we spent most of the game absorbing pressure and holding our ground as best we could.

It honestly felt like their attackers were cloning themselves, and our defence and mids were working very hard to mark what felt like twice the number of players.

We defended, ran, defended again and, eventually, probability took over and the goals became unavoidable, even with Martina pulling off some big saves.

We had some strong individual performances, but it was difficult to turn those into sustained team pressure in their D, even though we did have a couple of moments near their goal.

The scoreline didn’t change our mindset, it wasn’t an easy game, but everyone worked hard and kept fighting right to the end.

Player of the Match goes to Becca for a warrior’s performance in the trenches.
