Happy New Year!
I'll keep this preview very short as we'll have time on Saturday to organise ourselves for the game if we all arrive on time in the changing room please. It's important that we commit and prepare for every game in a disciplined way then enjoy the social and fun aspects of our hockey on the pitch and afterwards in the bar.
Let's make our Saturdays time to look forward to if we approach each game competitively, purposefully and thoughtfully. We've had some good results and we are a team that can not only compete but potentially beat any of the sides in our division on our day. That's in our hands and dictated by each and every aspect of preparation before and on match day. I'm sure we are all eager to get back on the hockey pitch, having celebrated New Year with all the associated eating and drinking, we may be short of match fitness but let's not be found wanting of desire to be successful and enjoy some great hockey in the next few months.
On housekeeping points, New Year's resolutions if you will, can everyone please, please keep their Pitchero availability up-to-date and confirm selection in a timely fashion. It really helps us selecting teams and reducing the stress on Captains using these tools and apps to save time and texts. Thanks in advance.
Have a fabulous and fruitful 2018.
See you Saturday.
