  • Hockey, Darts, Coombe Hill and The Grand Union Canal

    Hockey Coaching A disappointing turnout on Monday evening with about 10 people coming along – I’m hoping the numbers aren’t a reflection of what we are doing and more about half term / general apathy. We built on the previous week by introducing more dynamic basics routines, receiving the ball on the move and passing…

  • Eastbourne, TD Record Month and ACHC Quiz Night
