@MemEnglandhokey I think we badly miss Hollie PW. Impossible to replace, especially on leadership and her ability to read the game and tactically adapt. An innate skill and not easily coached sadly.

[Graeme Wilcockson @GraeWil]

@MemEnglandhokey Will be interesting to see how they step up. I think it’s a strong U21 squad, particularly in attack. 20+ Premier league goals this year in that squad. A few still at U18 level too.

RIP Robin Smith. Only 62. One of England’s greats and about the most destructive player of fast bowling I’ve ever seen.

✍️ I take a look at the void of uncertainty that engulfs both sport and writing and the concept of redefining progress in this new space

@andyhalliday3 @GBHockey Indeed, ringers galore! And spectacular teas - especially if the Castle had hosted an event the day before. Royal leftovers!

[Graeme Wilcockson @GraeWil]

@KiranRaichura @seanalf @PhilBailey3 @MemEnglandhokey Doesn’t have to be ten matches though. How about two matches? How about one? Come down to the club, photo op on the pitch with captains and/or club president. Bring your branding. Present PoM award. Sponsor the day.

@seanalf @KiranRaichura @PhilBailey3 @MemEnglandhokey Add it on to Ball Patrol bibs & you’ve got some decent coverage. If a photographer has their own website - a link there too.

Minimum should be a club covering costs of insurance and Public Lty. Let’s face it clubs aren’t paying for repairs or taking a hit on their own policy.

@PhilBailey3 @MemEnglandhokey Volunteering time is one thing. Volunteering £1000s of gear on the front line, occasionally in rain (and water jets) is another. Pay photographers, just as clubs reimburse caterers and groundstaff. No club is so broke it can’t spend a few quid with an appropriate byline.

[Graeme Wilcockson @GraeWil]

@asandysmith @MemEnglandhokey I’d agree - except both 3-4 playoffs were better matches than the respective Finals. Both were played at full pelt and won by a late goal or shootout. I thought the Finals were much cagier and slower tempo.

@WG_RumblePants Umpired here and had to give an all-run seven after double buzzers.

@drjonty The Wild Geese is set at Christmas!

[Graeme Wilcockson @GraeWil]

@OneLoveSAW They should have used my shot!

[Graeme Wilcockson @GraeWil]

@angusjporter I’ll have you know I’ve scored a century batting at 11. Across the season, not in a single innings though…

[Euro Hockey League @EHLHockeyTV]

One week to go! Some of the biggest names in the world game are coming to Surbiton from October 3-6 for the #EHLKO16 Men!

@wychwoodgeog @cricketslave @MartynBrunt I agree - it’s probably a total non-starter, but it’s not as if there’s a huge learning curve transitioning from T20 for a single tournament. Plus it’s a simple format non-cricketing viewers can get behind. Seems tailor made for LA!

[Graeme Wilcockson @GraeWil]

@wychwoodgeog @cricketslave @MartynBrunt I thought it was an attempt to bypass the IPL exclusivity clause. It didn’t work but it’s popular enough to persist with. There’s talk of US franchise money incoming - so I wonder if there is a late push for the LA Olympics as the official format?

[Graeme Wilcockson @GraeWil]

@OneLoveSAW Yeah, it’s disappointing - and seems to have been like that for most matches.

[Graeme Wilcockson @GraeWil]

@OneLoveSAW @eurosport @discoveryplusUK He runs out of talking points really early. I think I must have heard it being an important 3 points for the USA about ten times! It’s random, pointless stats on repeat - or stating the blindingly obvious with some obscure adjectives thrown in for good measure. Drives me mad!
