FIH Pro-Legue hockey a great watch to see the England team playing in blue vs Argentina in their blue & white stripes on a blue pitch!?

Where was the same backing & push of the legacy in schools following the gold medal at the Olympics for the GB Women’s hockey team?

Huge congratulations to the Lionesses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏆
However as a hockey geek I can’t but help feel their success is another massive blow to the game of hockey in the UK.

The government announcement backing the legacy created by the Euros success & opening up more grass root opportunities etc for girls football will only see more 3G pitches & less hockey played at schools.

@FIH_Hockey @EnglandHockey
Whilst we try to make our sport more fashionable & grow the sport via tv coverage etc why allow teams to wear blue shirts against a blue pitch in the Pro-League?
Not ideal for clarity etc & doesn’t take a lot of input from the authorities etc to adjust

@johnfairchild @EnglandHockey @Channel4 The games in Argentina have been shown as a full game reruns but not live only at 11:30 the morning after.
Mainly due to the start time being 00:30 hours I think but some of us are awake.

[𝗚𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘆 @garystacey37]

Anyone know if you can watch the @EnglandHockey games on the FIH website live instead of waiting for the YouTube feed in the morning?
Just wondered if a VPN set to Ireland as a location would work.
Anyone tried?

Good to get the agility lights out to put the @TelfordWrekinHC GK's through their paces in a warm-up.

Maybe explains why the Aussies forwards have that little edge over us when the ball crosses that white line ...

Great comeback by @GBHockey to draw but couldn’t understand why if you are pulling your GK for final 3.5 minutes, so we have 11 v 9 outfield advantage, why not ensure your specialist drag flicker is on the pitch for this period. Glad we got away with it.

@MichaelDebenham Shearer, Platty, Pyscho, Gazza & Teddy all scored in the first 5.

[𝗚𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘆 @garystacey37]

@MichaelDebenham I said exactly the same thing.
All this fuss about all 5 scoring yet it was 5-5 vs Germany when Southgate missed in Euro 96.

@stephensroad10 @midlands_hockey They're on the GMS only currently.

[𝗚𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘆 @garystacey37]

Great to plan ahead now the @midlands_hockey league fixtures have been published.

[Midlands Hockey @MRHARESULTS]

A merger confirmed as @BournvilleHC and @khhockey join forces to become Bournville & Kings Heath Hockey club from 2024 onwards .
