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 [...]
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. Previous results should have given Reading the advantage going into the match, but Slough welcomed back two [...]
It’s been a long time since we had a super Sunday at Sonning Lane and this week it’s a big one!! Both 1XIs will be doing battle to be crowned English champions and claim their place in Europe. The Mens 1XI have already secured a place in the Euro Hockey League next season by topping [...]
21st March, 2010 Despite an impressive first 10 minutes, it was largely a scrappy and uninspired performance from Reading this weekend, who could only put two goals past Bristol side Clifton, currently second from bottom in the women’s EHL Premier Division. 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 [...]
Reading Men claim the league and a guaranteed place in Europe with two games to spare. After a depressing weekend away from home last weekend the Mens 1s won at the Lane on Sunday, beating Bowdon 2-1 thanks to Jonny Codling’s 68th minute winner and then found themselves guaranteed the league top spot after Brooklands [...]
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 [...]
Not the resounding result Reading were looking for this weekend as a young and sprightly Canterbury side forced them to share points in front of a home crowd at Sonning Lane on Saturday. A bad day at the office this weekend for Reading who were again lacking in inspiration as they took on Canterbury at [...]
A comfortable if uninspiring win for Reading against bottom of the table Trojans, which puts them 2 points clear of 3rd placed Slough who only managed a draw in the womens EHL premier division this weekend. On a chilly February afternoon in Hampshire, it wasn’t a game to spend standing still, yet Trojans were determined to play [...]
Reading ladies opened the second half of the season with a disappointing 4-1 loss to top-of-the-league and newly crowned indoor champions Leicester on a beautifully sunny day at Sonning Lane. Leicester opened the match with a confidence befitting their league position and got onto the scoreboard after just 12 minutes, with Chloe Rogers’ trademark flick [...]
