After almost 3 months of running (thanks Taff), Reading Ladies 1st team travelled to Mannheim, Germany for their first competitive fixtures of pre-season 2010. With 6 of last year’s squad unavailable for the start of the season due to international commitments and several others moving away from the Reading area, it was a new and [...]

Reading Ladies 1a’s won the England Hockey 2XI Cup competition on Sunday, a 3-2 win over Cannock securing the title of the best 2XI in the country. The match was hosted by Chelmsford HC, and with driving rain for most of the trip round the M25 it looked as though the conditions would be less [...]
The fairytale end to Reading Ladies 1’s season wasn’t to be this weekend as they lost out on a place in the European Cup next year, losing 2-1 to experienced local rivals Slough at Sonning Lane on Sunday.

Reading have been unable to recreate the consistent good form that characterised the first [...]
Not the highest of scorelines, but it was a confident and solid performance from Reading who made light work of ex-league champions Bowdon Hightown this weekend at Sonning Lane. Playing with momentum, flow and composure, Reading dominated for the majority of the match, putting together several long periods of possession, and spent more time camped [...]
It was a definitely a game of two halves for Reading this weekend as they put 5 goals past northern visitors Brooklands Poynton to re-gain 2nd place in the EHL Premier League. Despite a goal in the first 5 minutes from inside forward and ‘man-of-the-match’ Laura Puddle, who was quick to pounce on a rebound [...]
