UNDER 18's WIN SUPERLEAGUE
Posted 3rd February 2010 by Jane Morris- BIPHA South Wales Chair.
On behalf of BIPHA South Wales I would like to congratulate the Welsh Under 18 squad for their incredible acheivement, in beating the best of the best and winning this seasons Superleague competition.
With no purpose built facilities and, fewer competitive experiences, this squad, like all our Welsh teams, showed that clear directive coaching, sheer hard work , fitness, extreme discipline and determination are the key components that are needed to become the best in the country.
This squad was tested to the extreme, and showed immense team spirit and determination that left me quite in awe and immensely proud.
Most of the members of this team have previously been in teams themselves, that have suffered heavy defeats week after week, but by sticking with it, and drawing on these qualities, have over the years reached the very top of the game. I mention this as I hope their success, this weekend, will inspire all in our region.
Congratulations, Eric, Paul, Jordan, Alun, Gaz, Andrew, Will, Trent, Ashley, Cam and Mark.
BIPHA South Wales Under 16's runners up 2009-2010
I would also like to congratulate the Welsh under 16 squad. This team again, showed that same enourmous welsh spirit and talent as I described above, and played fantastic hockey, winning most of their games. Their team spirit, discipline and hard work was again, very inspiring.
Congratulations, Eric, Nick, Matt D, Matthew P, Harri, Ryan, Jake, Craig, Gio, Billy, Aled, Martin and Luke
The behavoiur and attitude of all these boys this weekend, has, as always made us so very proud to be a part of this region. Thank you, Congratulations and well done to you all.

Fixture List Updated
Posted 21st December 2009 by Graham Collins via Pat Jagus
The remaining fixtures for the junior season are now on the website. Carl Durham will
schedule the seniors' fixtures in due course, but the dates are shown on this
schedule.
With teams pulling out part way through & now the fire at Afan Lido
affecting seniors' games, we have had less scope than usual to schedule as
effectively as we would like, so they are not always as pretty as we would
like them. However I have tried to spread any long gap scenarios around the
clubs, though this is not always possible. Teams that missed games as a
concession earlier in the season may find they have 3 games on a day to catch up
& be fair to others. On rare occasions teams may now only have one game
on a day.
Please note your officiating duties & ensure officials are present
immediately the preceding game finishes (or at the start of the day if you are
responsible for the first game).
Merry Xmas & good luck for the rest of the season,
|
