Old Silhillians Hockey Club

Fantastic to see so many people at Club Day today, and well done to Team USA for the win!

As always, please do your utmost to add availability to your Pitchero account to make lives easier for all our volunteer Captains who don't want to have to spend all week chasing to find out if players are available.

Remember the process is:

1. Add availability for the DATE (not a team). If you can only play at certain times, put UNSURE and then ADD A NOTE to say which time slots you are available for.

2. You will be prompted for the team you are selected for (usually by Wednesday evening at the latest) - please then respond to confirm the selection

3. You may be asked to then move teams if players decline selections that they have previously said they were available for, but this is a real pain for both the players and the Captains, so please ensure you are updating your availability regularly so we don't end up selecting you for a game you are now not available for!

Remember, the more up to date your availability is, the better chance we have of actually getting you a game!

We’ve updated the signage around the clubhouse to remind everyone that dogs are not permitted on site.

We really appreciate your help and cooperation with this throughout the season. 🙌

Thank you! 💙

All clubs in England have been asked to do their bit to prove to broadcasters that there is an audience for hockey on terrestrial TV.

Do your bit to boost viewing figures by watching the FREE hockey from the World Cup on Channel 4 sport YouTube channel.

🗣️ “Every time you press play, you’re voting for hockey on TV”

A reminder about Ladies Day tomorrow - delighted to welcome Achieve Physio to provide free injury assessments as well :)

We know it is hot, but the bar will be open and this day is about socialising and welcoming people as it is about actually playing sports.

All women and girls welcome at the club on 11th July to come and try different ways to get into (more) sport.

No costs, lots happening, so please bring family and friends (Mums / Daughters / Sisters and anyone else!)

Fantastic news for one of our outstanding juniors that has been with the club since he was very young. He scored on his debut for the M3 the same week he turned 13, so this selection is fully deserved for a very talented young man.

Highly recommended for our County level players.

See the post about spaces for GKs specifically.

A quick reminder that Junior training is not on this Sunday (as it is Easter Sunday), but if you are mixing your club fix, why not check out the Auction we are running to help raise funds for the club:

Fantastic to see one of our former Junior Members excelling on an International stage.

A fantastic hockey player, and an even better cricketer.

Keep going Tom!
