Romsey
Hockey Club - A new era providing a club for the whole family
Romsey
Hockey club will be marking an exciting new era when
they kick-off their hockey season this September.
RHC,
originally a ladies-only club and more lately
encompassing a thriving mixed junior section, has now merged
with Michelmersh and Timsbury men. The 2008/9 season will
be their first season as a mixed club welcoming players of
both sexes and all ages (and all abilities of
course) for the first time in the club's history.
The
merger was welcomed by players from both clubs as
a natural progressions to ensure Romsey can continue to nurture
the talented youth section and compete with other
larger clubs in Hampshire. It will also ensure the town
of Romsey can provide a friendly hockey club for the whole
family.
A
spokesperson for the club said: "This is a massive step
for RHC and one which we think will strengthen all the teams
and secure a successful future for hockey in the town. We
have already attracted some new players and are looking
forward to attracting more members, particularly in the
senior sides which welcome not just experienced players but beginners
and those returning to the game."
RHC
has seen the junior club grow massively in
recent years and this year will field 10 junior
teams in all. The club will also field 3 ladies
teams while the men's section will have two league teams (one
of which will be designated a youth development squad).
All having regular League fixtures during the season (September to
