Canterbury Hockey Club Mens Squires (formally veterans) team news and results

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Well earned draw against local rival Holcombe - 2 each. Both goals from new youngster Finn Murphy.....it has to be asked where he has been hiding all season??

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Tough afternoon against a well organised Old Wiliamsonians side - 4 - 0 down but plenty to be proud of with some attractive hockey and by the end battling with only 9 fit players on the pitch! 7th in the league looks like our final resting place.

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

A welcome win against a Folkestone side who clearly did not want to lose - 2 - 1 final score with goals from the skipper and Olly Curtiss......again!

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Hard fought draw with a well organised Blackheath side riding high in the league - 2 - 2 draw with both goals from Ollie Curtis

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Good day all round - beat the weather and beat Holcombe 4 - 1!!!! Goals nicely spread about with Jimmy Laslett Rich Navarro-Pollott, James Curtis and Josh Kitson all bagging one.

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Game of the short corner - they had one and scored - we had 8 and didn't!! Very frustrating game with Oli Curtis, Robin Cox and Max Navarro working hard for the cause but nothing to show for it.

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Good day for the Curtis family!! 2 - 2 draw against top of the league Cliftonville 2's - feels like a win against good opposition - goals from Ollie and then James at the end to claw back and share the points - disciplined and united effort

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

We had our chances but never really got control of the game - 2 - 1 down - goal from James Curtis -a crisp and well directed smash against the back board from a short corner; despite the result a very enjoyable game

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

A happy captain reporting from the A303 (if not a little fearful for his place after missing this one) after a fine victory against 2nd in the league and local rivals Herne Bay - 3 - 2 - goals from Jimmy Laslett x 2 and Max Navarro-Pollott - avenges the result on league start!

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

A good win 4 - 0 against oppo. from league below but very competently executed - all contributed to a very controlled win - goals from Merv Lewis x 2, Jimmy Laslett and Rich Navarro-Pollott......real test next week when we return to league action against Herne Bay

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Very enjoyable match against Folkestone - we came up winners which added to the joy!! Similar mix of youth and experience in each side but Canterbury youth triumphed with 3 goals; Jonathan Adams, Josh Kitson and Oli Stovell......clean sheet looks good also....

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Frustrating draw! Showed excellent determination to come back from 1 - 0 down at half time but a game of too many missed opportunities and a handful of excellent saves by the Holcombe keeper - our goal for 1 - 1 from Edward Lampard

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

A hard fought victory; nil all at half time and a belief we could nick this one. Goal from Max Sherhod and Andrew Hurst in the second half saw us 2 - 0 winners.......clean sheet also worth commenting on given our well organised defence.

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Another very young opposition (compared to us!) that were too fast - not a very fair scoreline but they did score more than us - 4 - 1 down - goal from the skipper!

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Today was the day - 3 - 1 victory! Slightly untidy but very pleasing........goals from skipper, Paul Batchelor and Rich Navarro. Lets hope this is a spring board to better things

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Oh dear another loss - not as bad as the 3 - 1 scoreline suggests...........nothing going our way yet this season. Goal from Paul Batchelor

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Only one winner today..............the weather!
No game played because of flooded pitch

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Fine margins - another hard fought encounter which as the scoreline suggests was a close contest in all departments - 3 - 2 down with goals from Jo Miles and Max Sherhod

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Another really hard encounter - this time with a group of school boys with real talent. Normal Squires pride and passion showed and whilst the scoreline was never going to be overturned fought hard and competed - just couldn't keep out the exceptional goals. Coxy scored ours!

[CHC Squires @chc_msqui]

Thats more like it - a gallant 10 man side from Bromley / Becs fought hard but with good passing and a real spirit to win ran out 6 - 2 winners - 3 from Rich Pollot - 2 from Paul Batchelor and one from Jonathan Adams
