The best teams have reserves who star in their roles and starters who practice like they're trying to make the team.

On 14/15 August @pauldud58 is continuing his fundraising in memory of Ben - walking the length of 10 of Ben’s favourite golf courses around @DingleCoombe in aid of @bloodcancer_uk and @BristolUni Performance Sport. Do sponsor if you can https://t.co/LK5K3SGFd2

The legacy of Ben Dudley continues - instrumental in the bid for an ⁦@EnglandHockey⁩ Talent Academy and today ⁦@BristolHockey⁩ ⁦@BristolHockeyTA⁩ complete their first TA cup in Nottingham with the girls playing ⁦@SurbitonHC⁩ and boys ⁦@TBBTalentAca⁩

[Martin @CoachMartin83]

Also very proud of these boys who showed resilience, determination, courage, teamship as well as a lot of skill to finish on a high having played top opposition at TA cup.

Well done everyone, thank you all for this awesome year.

The @BristolHockey @BristolHockeyTA Boys had a narrow win on the final day of @EnglandHockey TA cup - in sweltering conditions v @TBBTalentAca. A great squad who have supported each other and grown together in inaugural season

Beyond proud of our 1st year as a TA & in particular of these girls who I have had the pleasure of working with all year. So many smiles, laughs, memories, connections. An exceptional team effort, enabling our talents to shine in an awesome TA Cup. What a ride.

@TabbStephen @BristolHockey Thank you Stephen, kind words.

Hugely proud of Chris. Massive for him & UBHC. A year after losing the hero that was Ben Dudley, we have picked ourselves up under Chris’ leadership & carry on what Ben started.

2x promotions and an incredible spirit throughout.

This is not ‘just’ a university club…

Really pleased for @BristolHockey, particularly due to the legacy of the late, great, Ben Dudley, that they have been able to carry on. I know Ben will be looking down on them from somewhere 'smiling because it happened'. Well done to Chris and the Uni coaches.

[Martin @CoachMartin83]

@StourHockeyTA @pdg_at_avidity Well done Maddie!
