The National League Boys 1990

National League Boys
 
The boys return next weekend for a match to celebrate the opening of our new Atsro.  These master hockey players will be practising their craft, so come and see these players, while we still can, the game starts at 4.30 sharp.  These players took us into the National League in the late 1980's early 1990's.

Girls U18 National Champions 1991

Our Under 18 Ladies were National Champions in the 1990/91 season. 

The girls swept all before them, firstly becoming Cheshire Champions, then North Champions, before heading to Swindon for the National Club Championship in March 1991. 

They are returning for a celebration of Hockey on the 11 July at the Astro opening.

Nestons 6th Team 1988/89

Unbeaten 6th Team
 
In 1988/89 the then 6th team Captain Tony Lydiate lead the boys to an unbeaten season, winning all 22 games!  They are re-uniting again, 20 years later, to take on Chairman Eddie Byrnes's team on Sunday 12 July at the Astro Opening.  Check out a very young Gregor Brooker!!

New Rules 2009/10
 
There are some new Rules for 2009/10.  The basics are that you can pass to yourself from a free hit, a side line hit and a 16 and it doesn't have to travel a yd.  There are some complicated rules in the attacking 25, when from a free hit the ball has to travel 5yds before it can be hit into the D, these also apply to a long corner but not a short, these will be explained later.  The dotted 5yd line will be important for umpires as any free hit given within the dotted line and the D has to be taken outside the dotted line!
