Home Again At Last

This season saw the Club being able to use the tremendous facilities, housed in the brand new pavilion at London Road, provided by East Lindsey District Council. It is here where the Club can, once again, host it's home matches and train.

This photo was taken outside the new pavilion to mark the raising of the 2012 Olympic flag and to begin the Olympic countdown! Representatives from E.L.D.C. and from the clubs, based at London Road, were invited to attend.

The International Hockey Federation (F.I.H.) Implement Experimental "Free Hit" Rule.

A “self-pass” from a free hit has therefore been introduced.  It enables the player taking the free hit to play the ball again after taking the free hit which will encourage free-flowing hockey. 

As with other actions on the hockey pitch, this must take place safely.  Other aspects of the free hit rules have therefore been reviewed.  To read more click here

Louth Hockey Club U11 Boys Become  County Champions

The first round of the National Yazoo U11 Mini Championships were held here at Louth on 8th MARCH ’09. A windy, but bright sunny day saw teams from Brigg, Lincoln, Long Sutton, Louth, Sleaford and Spalding take to the astro turf ready for some challenging play.

Welcoming a new player to their midst, Louis the Goal Keeper, Louth began as they meant to go on and sent a flurry of goals past Brigg to win 7 – 0.

As the weather deteriated so Louth’s confidence grew. A great spirit prevailed and excellent team work proved them unstoppable. They went on to beat Spalding 8 - 0, Long Sutton 5 -0, and finally Lincoln 5 - 0, scoring 24 gaols in all with none against. Thus making them Lincolnshire Champions.

A Great  Spirit Prevailed

This earned them a chance to go to the East championship, at the Harleston Magpies Hockey Club ground, on April 25th ’09 where they will face some very tough opposition in order to reach the National Final at Highfields, Nottingham in May’09.

Congratulations To Newly Qualified Level 1 Club Coaches

The Club would like to congratulate Amie Wright. Claire Canning, Jane Chamberlin and Richard Limmer for becoming England Hockey Level 1 Coaches and wish them every success in the future.uture

The Four Nations Tournament in Seville - Spain  April '09

Congratulations also to Samuel Temple-Baxter who has been selected to play with England's U16 squad.

Samuel came to train at Louth when he was about 7 or 8 and has gone from strength to strength playing, originally with Louth juniors, then for a short time with Lincoln juniors. He then went into men's league hockey, playing for Horncastle and finally for Alford & District H.C. He also progressed through the County and Regional squads and finally reaching the dizzy heights of National recognition - well done Sam. We'll be following your progress!

More Congratulations!!

Chloe Thornley, Kelly Thomlinson, Michelle Scott, Lizzie Marshall and Rosie Bunney have passed their theory as Level 1 Umpires, well done.
