New Hockey Season

So the new hockey season at Chester Hockey Club has begun in earnest, i have been training hard for the new season. Even attending the pre season training which has put me in good shape for the new season,  i havent felt so fit and in shape ever, this is down to staying off the alcohol and eating lots of fruit, im having atleast two pieces of fruit a day which im sure is really helping me.

Yesterday i played in game with 5th and 4th’s mixed versus each other in a game, which was a good game, it was very warm to play in that sort of weather though, but i enjoyed playing on the left wing and could hold my own against much of the 4ths or 5th team members which was good. And i only once i felt tired which is a great sign.

Best bits of the match were playing up front and showing my pace, i almost was able to score twice after sprinting past their midfield and right back to scream for the ball to be pasted to me which i nearly capitalised on, all good signs for me.

Training on Tuesday i am now looking forward too, and the more i train the more chance i have been selected for the 5th or even the 4ths. And on from Tuesday i am playing for the 5ths against Oxton in a friendly so its all good :)

Hockey Festival

So chester hockey festival is on the horizon, next Saturday the 2009 Chester Hockey Club festival will be underway, it will be an interesting weekend especially as im playing for the Chester Uni Old Boys team, so it should be a laugh, and lots of drunken mayhem.
