Canterbury Hockey Club Mens Friars team news and results. Our age range is from 13 to 77 and, often written off, we surprise!

The closure of A257 running past us for 3 mnths from 24 July has been cancelled.
Common sense reigns! The idiots who dreamt up & then agreed this road closure-the devolopers at old barracks & agreed by Kent CC have backed down. Thanks Cllrs Alex Ricketts (Friars) & Mike Sole

And the 2023-24 season is off with an intra club friendly 2-1 win over @chc_msqui - good prep for having been promoted to South East Invicta 7. Our goals by John Boy Aikin and @SmelyNerfherder Tom Parkin. Squires goal by Teddy Ridings.

Battling 2-1 loss v @KSportsHockey 3s. Goal by Pete Bowell. Defence lead by GK Paul ‘Dono’ Donovan of @kentsportsimage awesome.

Rather Lucky 1-0 win v @SittingbourneHC 5. Excellent hard fought game but John Aikin - who else - with an exhibition back flip again hit the clincher with 8 minutes to go. Paul Donovan of @kentsportsimage in goal was MOM. Thankyou Sityingbourne /@OldBordenianHC

HNY to every one of our 173 followers. One of our top aims is not to get promoted or relegated. We have found our life-work-playing balance in Invicta SE div 8 where we happily reside in a languid state and have done so for a dozen years or more https://t.co/DJK5ABZiPV

[CHC Friars @chc_mfria]

Lost 1-0 to Maidstone 4s. Excellent game. Nothing in it except one goal. Pete Neville man of match.

[CHC Friars @chc_mfria]

Well done Jamie Harris who plays for us

[Kent Cricket Foundation @KentCricketDev]

In all fairness, we haven't actually mentioned this yet in December...

ℹ️ Mr. Rees at Bysing Wood Primary School self-registered on the @chance2shine portal earlier this year, our coach (Jamie) got in touch, and the rest as they say is... Award Winning.
