Dads and lads and all and sundry

So we decided we’d run the Dads and Lads sessions again this year, and it’s fair to say that things got off to a slow start with only and handful of hardy souls turning up in the damp weather at the end of May. But as the weather has picked up, more and more people … Read more

End of an era

Last season marked the end of an era for the ladies section, as David Parry stepped down from umpiring after many years of service to the club. Apparently it all started with a bit of pressganging (from unnamed parties), after which he never looked back and the ladies section was blessed with knowing that they … Read more

Masters miss out

The O35s Interdistrict Ladies Tournament was held at Kilgraston last Saturday. Spirits were high despite rather dismal weather, however the Midland squad (comprising an Olympic Bronze medallist, a few current Scottish Masters players and 7 Kinross players) was unfortunately unable to retain the trophy. Lots of money raised for charity, and with any luck some … Read more

Golden Bart

Well done to Bart and his Midlands teammates, who came home from the boys’ interdistricts with a gold medal. Bart, sharing the goalkeeping duties, only let one goal past him in the whole tournament, which is hugely impressive. Izzy and the girls had a tougher time of it, coming away in fourth place.

Dads and lads and “lads”

The first Dads and lads session of the summer kicked off over the weekend, with a few more or less wary dads and other assorted beginners pitting themselves against some lads, most of whom were β€œlads”, which is to say they were either daughters, or adults who just needed an extra runaround. Great fun, particularly … Read more

Annual dinner

The traditional end of season bash took place at the clubhouse last Friday, with much swankiness and glamour on display, and that was just from the Gentlemen’s Second Team. Dougie ended his term of office as president with a moving speech about his bladder issues, as well as covering all of the season’s major events … Read more

Some more leaders

Congratulations to everyone who did the hockey leaders course at KAS a couple of weekends ago, in many cases dragging themselves away from their revision schedules in order to be there. We are now looking in pretty good shape for coaching staff for the kobras.

Soho 2

We’re thrilled to announce that Soho Wealth have agreed to sponsor the men’s and Kobras section of the club for another three years. Many thanks to Steven McColl for his continuing support (both on and off the pitch!)

Stepping up

For youngsters, one of the joys of playing for a small club is the chance to push on quite quickly, as creaking legs among the older contingent create opportunities. So there was young William, expecting a season of gentle paced goalkeeping in Div 4, but instead getting pushed on to play in Div 1 with … Read more

P..p..pick up a pizza

It was freezing cold for the girls Dev Squad game against the ladies seconds last night. That was bad enough, but the ladies had put out a very strong team too. So all in all, it was a pretty tough evening for the girls, who came out on the wrong end of 4-1. Still, a … Read more
