The mighty 2s also have their fixtures ready to go. After a terrific season finishing 4th the 2s will feel hard done by not being placed in a higher division but that will not bother them. They will look to battle for every point nevertheless. With a more westerly looking division the de Cymru division 3 will be full of great games and the 2s will look to continue making Hawthorn a fortress after just 1 loss at home last year. We wish all the teams a successful season! Hoci Cymru West Hockey

Our youth wrapped up their season with an incredible U10s tournament in Whitchurch a couple of weeks ago. Both of our teams delivered impressive performances, racking up wins and scoring some fantastic goals. It's remarkable progress from last year when fielding a single team seemed daunting. The boys' dedication and growth have been outstanding. Huge thanks to the parents for their tireless support, braving the elements to get them to training and games. We're also indebted to coaches Anthony, Hywel, and Rhodri for their invaluable guidance. Bring on next season!

Season Complete!

The 1s finish off the spectacular season both teams had with a very close, very unlucky defeat down Bridgend. But this one small loss won't dampen the spirits of the team, as we have all worked incredibly hard to improve from last season, which we have.

The game down Bridgend was going to be close, no matter who was playing. On a dramatic end of season twist, Johnny came back after a long absence, so the team were very glad to see him as they began the game. In the first half, Johnny wend around the keeper, getting him in on goal, but selflessly passes to Pete as he had a better angle (great team play there lads!). Shortly after this, the 1s conceded for it to be 1-1 at half time.

In the second half, Caerphilly had the majority of chances, however we couldn't put the ball in the back of the goal, which gave Bridgend the advantage when they counter attacked. A flick was awarded in one of their attacks, which was very unfortunate, as the team was playing so well. Unfortunately the keeper went the opposite direction on the flick, giving Bridgend the 2-1 win that they wanted more than us.

However, this unlucky loss doesn't reflect the season that both teams have had this year, especially the 1st team, and all the guys are happy with how they performed.

Bring on next season!!!

LAST GAME OF THE SEASON!

The 1s will finish off their brilliant season down in Pencoed this time. Can they get a final 3 points to round up a much improved season compared to last year?

Good luck to the guys, finish the season with a win!

And with that, the 2025/26 season is over for the 2s!

The weather was not on the side of the players today, with the winds just before the game being strong enough to actually blow the goals off the line. But this wasn't going to blow away the 2s, and not even the hailstones dampened their spirits. As the game starts, Caerphilly hold the majority of possession, making good runs up and across the pitch. However, no chance was converted until around 15 minutes in, where Hamish crosses a good ball to Sam to claim his first of the game. Following the restart, Caerphilly keep the pressure on, and shortly after, Hamish gets a goal from a nice cross out wide. But for some reason, the 2s switched off then, letting Abergavenny through on goal a few times, but thanks to Will and Hywel clearing the ball, no shot was taken on the keeper. Later in the half, Brandon in goal makes a nice save on the edge of his padding, keeping Caerphilly ahead by two at half time.

After some strong words of encouragement at half time, the game restarts, with Caerphilly holding the momentum yet again, gaining a short corner within 5 minutes. Hamish then strikes the ball towards the back post, and Sam swoops in to claim another goal with a lovely touch. The momentum then switches to Abergavenny, who push the defence harder and harder, but Brandon makes some more great saves, keeping a clean sheet for majority of the game. The ball is then played down the wing by Brandon Jr and Anu, with a nice cross into the middle, Sam gets his 3rd goal. And then again, Caerphilly maintain the momentum and with some nice passes in the middle, Ross is in on goal, scoring right in the corner. But again, with 10 minutes to go, Caerphilly switch off, putting a lot of pressure on the defence, eventually giving a short corner to Aber. The initial strike was stopped by Rhod on the post, but very unluckily, it bounced to the opposition, who took his chance, and flicked it into the back of the net, but not before Brandon got a touch on it. So close, but yet so far, unlucky.

A great win for the 2s to finish the season, with plenty of goals to go around. Well Done Guys!
