NHC Mens 3rd XI

Merry Christmas to all our hockey and non-hockey friends and family! 🎄 Hope you're having a good day 🏑

@JumpStartSports spotted! twitter.com/Mageestbakery/…

@elliot_deeks Thou shalt tread lightly under the eyes of what our captain can observe and screenshot young Deeks!

It's good to see that our top class forward, Elliot Deeks, is getting in the festive spirit! ⛄🏑@saintshockey @EnglandHockey @BBCSport

Also, our stagnation as a team on twitter is something we must apologise for!

We've come out of our winter hibernation to bring you some top banter!

Excellent article. Boards demand results, but are they willing to be patient and let the players learn along the way? #developsmarterplayers twitter.com/ImSporticus/st…

Loughborough Town (@LTHC1897) 10 - 0 Northampton Saints... #MaybeAnotherDay

@RitualHockey Always time for Kanye! #IWishIWasKanye

@RitualHockey The necessities of course; Black Skinhead - Kanye West, Bonfire - The Hunna, Here we go - Lower Than Atlantis.. Just a few

Defending is about regaining the ball, not just stopping the opposition having control. This is a tackle we've been working on. @FIH_Academy

One size does not fit all #ThinkingThursday

Well done to @uonwomenshockey on their 3-0 win over Anglia Ruskin tonight at #FortMoulton! @BUCSsport! 💪🏑🏆🍻

And of course, Jason Hillier! The rock at the back that takes no messing around! You can see his Dictator'ish style in the 3rd picture!

Thirdly, onto Macca! The mischievous Irishman in Central Midfield! Quick and agile on his toes with passes that split defences every week!

And now for Nigel Down, a force to be reckoned with in Central Midfield! Also, Nigel is looking surprisingly happy off the ball!

Our very own, Steve Morris! Calm, cool and collected under pressure; no forward gets past this man without a fight 💪🏑

Now for some special shootouts to our Masters players from the 3rd XI...

Our Masters team faced off against @BurtonHockey1 in the @EnglandHockey O40s Cup today! And they win 4-3 on flicks! #OAPs #ZimmerFrames
