By Reading Hockey Club • Feb 12th, 2010 • Category: L1A, Match Reports

Reading 1a’s returned to South league action on Saturday with a home tie against Hampstead & Westminster.
An early slot at The Lane combined with some chilly overnight temperatures meant that the pitch was still frosty at the meet time. A blast of water and some quick footwork in the warmup cleared the worst of the [...]
