Congratulations to our National Medal Winners	28/04/2009
The Women’s Veterans, under 15 Girls and under 15 Boys collected gold, silver and bronze medals in their national cup competitions last weekend. Five goals from Michelle Mitchell and two from Tanya Cooke helped the women to three wins over Preston, St Austell and Cambridge and a draw with Northampton to give them the national title. Pink shirts were much in evidence at the junior cup finals in Birmingham where Teddington was the only club with both girls’ and boys’ sides qualifying for the round-robin competitions. The u15 Girls took silver despite being undefeated all season. They were unlucky to be held to a draw with Surbiton on the first day of the finals but got off to a flyer on day two when Olivia Chilton scored two goals and Ellen Paterson one to help the side to a 3-0 victory over Lytham St Annes. A tense final game against Wakefield ended in a 0-0 draw and gave the girls the runners-up prize. The u15 Boys lost their first match in Birmingham 5-1 against an excellent Bromley & Beckenham side but showed how they could play in the second match beating City of Peterborough 7-1, sharing the goals across the team. The boys lost out on second place in the final game against Cannock – with the match much closer than the 5-0 score line suggests. A medal as the third best team in the country is a great result for the young side. Match reports to follow on the Junior and Ladies pages.

Silverware for Teddington Men's Saplings and 4's	20/04/2009
Both the Saplings and T4's won their divisional cup finals on the 18th April at Surbiton. The 4's came into the match against PHC Chiswick in a positive mood having thrashed them 10-2 a few weeks early and despite hitting the bar on a flick and offering them 30+ short corners came through to win 3-2. The Saplings had won the semi-final against Spencer 4-0 with only their second clean sheet of the season, so we also feeling fairly confident. However, they had to do it the hard way, coming back from 3-0 down against a feisty Old Loughts (they got 4 yellow cards) to draw 3-3 at full time, 5-5 after 5 normal penalty flicks and then take the win 7-6 in front of a large crowd on the third sudden death flick. The trophies will no doubt be on show at the annual dinner on the 16th May.

Goal record for Ladies Academy

14/04/2009

The Ladies Academy team, formed from mainly under-14 girls, has smashed the Middlesex league record for the number of goals scored in a season.

The team finished unbeaten after 18 games, scoring 152 goals along the way – an average of more than eight a game.

Across the season 37 girls played for the Academy – which constitutes Teddington’s Sixth Ladies team and is used by the club to give young players their first taste of adult hockey. A total of 24 girls scored goals – including (to everyone’s delight) goalkeeper Dani Croucher during one of her rare outfield appearances.

Fleur Gibson was the team’s top scorer with 21 goals in 11 outings. Jessica Pead was second highest with 17 goals in 10 appearances and Libby Williams the third highest sharp-shooter with 13 goals in 12 games.

The final record for the Academy for season was: P 20, W 18, D2, L0, F152, A12. Unsurprisingly, the Academy won their division and gave the squad the best record of any team in the five divisions, being one of only two teams to be unbeaten this season.

Teddington U11 Tournament

14/04/2009

Teddington Hockey Club played host to more than 100 boys and girls from 14 teams in an U11 tournament on April 5.

The club welcomed teams from Guilford, Horsham, Oxted, Reading, SJB, Southgate and Sunbury to its St Mary’s venue on a sunny spring morning.

The tournament was sponsored by Belmont Bakeries, who funded all the medals and trophies for the day as well as providing a barbecue serving refreshments for the players and supporters. Harlequins Rugby Club also kindly provided a free sports drink for each child taking part in the tournament.

The Boy’s tournament was won by Southgate who narrowly beat Oxted 1-0 in the final. Teddington’s “A” team members secured bronze medals after winning the third place play-off against Guilford, 2-1.

The Girl’s tournament was played as a league with Teddington “A” taking first place with 11 points and without conceding a goal in their five matches. Reading came second with 9 points and superior goal difference to Guilford in third place (also 9 points).

The tournament was umpired by a number of trainee young umpires from the club undertaking assessment for the Foundation Umpires Course under the supervision of the Middlesex Hockey Umpires Association. At the end of the tournament, Teddington’s David Offord presented certificates to the five successful young umpires – Chris Walker, Alice Bateman, Fleur Gibson, Livvy Martineau and Jessica Pead.

Champions galore!	17/03/2009
The under 13 boys and girls were both crowned Middlesex champions last weekend as they saw off an array of local opposition to take both titles. They join the u11 boys who won their competition earlier in the month as county winners. All three teams join the u11 girls, who were runners up in their contest, plus the under 13 girls B team in the South finals at the end of April.
