North Devon Hockey Club

Despite being dreadful for most of the match, the 1s beat a solid Ashmoor 2s at home 4-1, yesterday; Guy Cockcroft with a brace and two scintillating goals from Ben Cox and Joe Taylor Richards. The 2s lost 5-1 on the road to Dart 1s, though the score was 2-1 with 10 mins to go.

The 1st XI lost 3-2 away to Devonport Services, yesterday. MoM was Sam Wormington for some excellent saves. The 2nd XI beat Exeter 2s 6-3 at home. MoM was Josh Thorne for a fine hat-trick.

The 1st XI won 5-2 at home to Isca 4s, yesterday. Guy Cockcroft won Man of the Match for his two goals. They now sit 5th in the table. The 2nd XI lost their first game of the season, 4-1 away to Ocean City 2s. Much revelry and camaraderie was enjoyed at the annual curry night.

The 1st XI drew 1-1 away to top of the league Truro 2s, yesterday. Teas were the winner, though, as we were taken back to Skinner's Brewery. The 2nd XI came back from 2-0 down at home to top of the league Teign to draw 4-4. They remain unbeaten this season.

@StevePearce2 @smithgraham6 @Pete_Smale We'llpass on your kind words to Simon.. Thanks for your support, too. We wish you all the best for the season ahead.

@northdevonhc @smithgraham6 @Pete_Smale Well done chaps , Please pass on my personal thanks on to your RN umpire , whose name I have momentarily forgot , for his invaluable help and support which meant 4 of Us covered 14 games

Congratulations to the 1st XI who won the Exeter HC pre-season tournament, today; @Pete_Smale scoring the winner in the final against Taunton Vale 2s. The 2nd XI lost 3-2 at home to Tiverton 1s.

Our #smallyetmighty hockey club appreciates help with funding. Our members have been able to play the sport they love with your help. This year we entered our first Regional Championships at Under 10, funded by our super supporters at @easyuk #ShareTheMagic

@smithgraham6 @Pete_Smale Thanks, Graham. We look forward to seeing you for hockey and a beer at some point.

@northdevonhc @Pete_Smale Well done guys. Hope you have a great season, and, hopefully I'll get to see you all.

Well done to the 1st XI who defeated Ashmoor 2nd XI 5-3 at home yesterday, with a hat-trick from man of the match Ash Thorne. The 2nd XI put in a spirited performance away to Ashmoor 3rd XI, losing 4-2, despite a brace from Bradley Bellingham.

The 1st XI won 4-3 at home to Truro 2s, yesterday (first win of the league season!). Alas, the 2s lost 5-1 away at Dart 1s, despite contesting the whole match. We soldier on!

The 1st XI lost 4-3 away at Caradon 1s, yesterday. MoM: Sam Wormington with some excellent saves. The 2nd XI lost 9-1 at home to East Devon 2s. Both teams are still looking for their first win of the league season

@swsportsnews can you help? We're looking for Under 16 11aside friendlies for both our girls and boys sides. South and West Somerset, Devon and Northern Cornwall. Sadly there wasn't enough interest in Tier 2 West League this year but we have players ready and willing to progress

Both teams are yet to find a win in their respective leagues, with the 1st XI losing 3-2 at home to Ocean City 2s and the 2nd XI losing 6-1 to Isca 5s on the road. If we can find a way to score more goals and concede fewer, I am sure results will start to pick up.

A tough opening day of the league season with the 1st XI losing away at East Devon, 5-1, and the 2nd XI losing 4-2 at home to Hornets.

@ChrisGiles06 2.30pm, Chris.

@northdevonhc hey there. With GSM messing around at the moment I need to know the start time for your 2s vs ECVH 2 next weekend.

@ChrisGiles06 Hello Chris. 2.30pm push back at the Park Community School, Barnstaple.

Thank you to everyone that played in the tournament yesterday, celebrating 50 years of North Devon Hockey Club. It was great to see so many juniors, new and old faces, as well as many @TawValley players. Special thanks to the Castle Inn for putting on an excellent barbecue, too.
