By Reading Hockey Club • Mar 3rd, 2011 • Category: Match Reports, Refills

Saturday 25th February 2011 Despite letting a 2 goal lead slip for the second time this season against the unbeaten league leaders, Refills became the first team to take points off OL with a hard fought 2-2 draw: but this more a case of 2 points dropped than 1 point saved. Refills started with their [...]

Saturday 19th February 2011 As matches go this was right up there with the best of them as Refills travelled away to share the spoils of a six goal thriller against St Albans. Both sides were well matched – St Albans clearly a seasoned side that knew what they were doing and prepared to be [...]



Reading Refills 1 PHC 2nd XI O

By Reading Hockey Club • Feb 7th, 2011 • Category: Match Reports, Refills

Saturday 28th January 2011 A well placed short corner flick from Amaraj Flora 10 minutes into the game was enough to give Refills the victory and extend their unbeaten run to 6 games against a belligerent PHC 2nd XI stuffed with antipodean testosterone on the new sand based pitch at Sonning Lane. The day was [...]



Reading Refills 3 Bromley & Beckenham 4th XI 3

By Reading Hockey Club • Feb 4th, 2011 • Category: Match Reports, Refills

Saturday 23rd January 2011 Despite having the majority of the play, Refills dropped 2 away points in an entertaining game of hockey having travelled through several time zones deep into the Southern Hemisphere. With several Refills playing their second match of the day, it was great to have the services of Mike Swerling and Chris [...]



Reading Refills 1 Spencer 4th XI 0

By Reading Hockey Club • Jan 12th, 2011 • Category: Match Reports, Refills

Saturday 8th January 2011 Any legacy New Year goodwill was quickly dispelled as Refills had to dig deep and fight hard against a determined and skilful Spencer side which had some tasty players. Skipper Swerling’s cause was not helped when unavailability and call ups to higher sides left him short of attacking options and Refills [...]



Reading Refills 5 Hampstead & Westminster 4th XI 2

By Reading Hockey Club • Dec 14th, 2010 • Category: Match Reports, Refills

Saturday 11th December 2010 Playing probably some of their best hockey of the season so far, Refills out thought, out manoeuvred and then outplayed a spirited Hampstead and Westminster side at the Paddington Recreation Ground in the last game before the Christmas break. Refills tore into this game and despite masses of pressure they never [...]



Reading Refills 3 Surbiton 4th 2

By Reading Hockey Club • Dec 1st, 2010 • Category: Match Reports, Refills

Saturday 27th November 2010 In one of only two games played in the Division due to the freezing conditions, Refills moved up to second in the League with a dour and hard fought win against Surbition – if last week Refills lost beautifully then this week’s win was ugly but there is no doubt which [...]



Reading Refills 3 Old Loughtonians Foresters 4

By Reading Hockey Club • Nov 23rd, 2010 • Category: Match Reports, Refills

Saturday 20th November 2010 If ever anyone thought that this was a simple matter of Foresters cutting down Saplings then think again as this was a great game of hockey between two evenly matched teams. It was full-on, fast, skillful, played in an excellent spirit and well umpired. The Refills lost for the second time [...]



Reading Refills 3 St Albans Senators 1

By Reading Hockey Club • Nov 16th, 2010 • Category: Match Reports, Refills

Saturday 13th November 2010 Simon Swerling’s Refills made it 4 wins on the trot with a fine display at home in front of their biggest crowd of the season against a competitive and competent St Albans side to put them third in the table. The first half started with the Refills knowing they were in [...]



Reading Refills 2 Tulse Hill & Dulwich 0

By Reading Hockey Club • Nov 5th, 2010 • Category: Match Reports, Refills

Saturday 30th October 2010 With 3 consecutive wins, Refills lie second in the table but for the majority of this game the Refills played with all the grace and artistry of a ballet class but without the punch as they had to work hard to overcome an obstinate Tulse Hill & Dulwich side at Sonning [...]
