Brian Ware 2021

This year's BW day promised much and delivered a lot more, all in our own little patch of 'green' that has turned out some amazing summer hockey tournaments this year in the name of the Super Bowl. One last turn out on the grass before moving back to the winter astro, we were in for an exciting day and the sun was shining.

We had a fantastic turnout with over 45 people. Four teams battled out the round robin over 6 twenty minutes games which ended up with Blues ( captained by Chris Frank) versus the whites ( captained by Marc Nicoue) playing in the final. Thanks so much to Sue and Charlie for some excellent time keeping and scoring. Thanks to Pete, Donald, Digga, Paul B, Jenny, Marc, Gordon and Alex for all the umpiring. Great job all!

Lunch was served! And we were treated to a fabulous BBQ by anyone that was keen to cook! Massive shout out to Ved for his trip to Costco to get supplies, to Zoe for making all the delicious pasta and salads and Lucy for transporting it to the ground.

Over lunch, there was the small matter of awarding last year's prizes and the customary toast to Brian Ware. Awards went to Chris B, Ian, Glen, SJ, Mollie,Emma, Lynda, and the men’s first team. Congratulations to all the winners. Thanks go to Nigel and Colin for their speeches and making the presentations of the very clean trophies ( thank you Chris Frank).

Family hockey was no longer an interlude and it was lovely to see our youngsters play some beautiful hockey.

The final was a display of quality hockey from both sides and the match ended with a win from the whites. Big congrats to Marc, Jenny, Paul M, Sue, John Scandrett and Toby.

A fitting event for a club day and the memory of a benefactor. The legacy lives on....

A special thanks to organising committee, ved, Ian, Zoe , Lucy, Chris and SJ who worked hard behind the scenes so that we could all have a fantastic day!
