Another win for Olney last night 5-1 against Rothwell and Desborough. Jood, Katie Kazza all got one and Ang got 2.  First goal for Olney for Katie which she couldn't quite believe.  Helen played very well, she looked confident and nearly kept a clean sheet. However, Saturday 21st we have a game at 10.20, would any of you that haven't taken part so far or have only played the odd game like a run out?

 If so let me know, oh and we also need an umpire (Last night's was crap!).

 We have decided to play in Summer white, but always bring your black, just in case!

Thanks.

Looking ahead to the warmer months I have entered a team in the 7 a side summer league to be played at Wrenn on Tuesday evenings from May. Please make a note in your diaries if you are interested.

Also looking further ahead - to next season in fact - we will need a new goal keeper. Keep your eyes and ears open for anyone who may be interested!#

Thanks.

Hi all

Well done for yesterday, you all played very well considering the long Xmas break.  It was a perfect first game to start the new year. Thanks for organising it Cath.  It was also great to see Lindsey looking so well. Next week we are away to Daventry, 11.30 push back, this will be a much tougher test. This friendly is very important, as our next match is not until 2nd Feb, our first league game of the year against Wellingborough 2's.

Well done again and I will see you all at training on Wednesday.

Hi all!

Thanks to all of you that came over to Bedford and played out a 2-2.  A pleasant game to end the year! Our 11 year old keeper Alex did very well, one to keep an eye on for the future. Amy and our honouree Olney lady, Lem both worked well on the front line today.  I hope that you both enjoyed the game. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for a great first half to the season it's been a lot of fun!  Take care and  have a great Xmas, I'm sure that I'll see some of you at the various parties that are happening over the festive period.

Message from an ex-coach

Hello Ladies,

I have been reading your very good website and recognised quite a few names in there!! Hope you are all well.  It is a very long time with no speak/see.

Well done on being in the Premier League and good luck on Saturday just remember Carrina’s advice and you won’t go wrong (still have the t-shirt and your signed picture of me is still very much on view in the house as it should be!) Speak to you all soon.

Love

Tim (Ex Coach and fan of the ABBA themed D’Ippolito Parties, now married with daughter Emma and soon to be father of a second)

Olney Ladies are looking forward to the new season and a new challenge. 

Many of use competed in The Wrenn School summer league, where we managed to play some good hockey and win the ‘Sporting Team Award’.  I’m never sure whether to take this award as a compliment or an insult as I sometimes feel that this means that we are ‘too nice’ and not competitive enough.  Perhaps we can work on that this season. 

One shining light from the summer was Alice Testa (Di Graham, our Umpire Liason Officer’s daughter), at 15 years old she’s keen to play some ladies hockey, and did very well for us.  She along with another couple of youngsters, Vanessa and Amy, have played one or two friendlies for us so far this season and conducted themselves very well, some good prospects for the future. 

We have had two friendlies so far this season, a good 3-3 draw with Wellingborough 2nds and a 2-1 win against Bedford 3rds.  Let’s continue the winning habit. 

We have temporarily lost Ali and Tamsin on maternity and parenting leave, however we welcome back Avril who managed to score on her ‘debut’ after about 90 seconds against Bedford last week! 

My message to our team for this season is to be more competitive from the start of every match.  We must win the close games that we were either drawing or losing by 1 goal last season.  We noticed in the summer league that some of the other teams that we play Div 1 hockey against have attracted some good new players so we are going to have to raise our game.  So let’s train hard, play hard, win and most importantly enjoy ourselves.
