Fun day sets up club for season ahead
Team effort East Kilbride Hockey Club got in the swing of things for the forthcoming season by holding a Family Fun Day at Duncanrig Sports Centre on Saturday.
A mini tournament kicked off the event and there were activities to keep everyone on their toes before the much-anticipated parents and coaches versus juniors match.
With refreshments and some home baking it was a sociable catch-up before the hard work for teams commences this Saturday with the start of the new season.
EK have two men’s teams, two ladies teams and a junior section, so there’s a place for everyone hoping to take up the sport. For details check out the website: www.eastkilbridehockeyclub.co.uk.
