New initiative had something for all

Hockey

Polo Farm Sports Club threw open its doors at the weekend for Canterbury Hockey Club’s first ever Hockeyfest.

As part of a national initiative the club welcomed scores of visitors to the Littlebourne Road venue on Saturday to see top class players in action and view the facilities the club offer.

The on-field action got underway with the men’s 2nd XI playing Burnt Ash while a club XI took on Rochford Casuals and at the same time the club’s ladies trials were taking place at the same time.

The ladies 1st team hosted big-guns Wimbledon while the men’s 1sts met Old Georgians straight after.

The day also featured a mini beer festival, a beat the goalie competition, stalls and a raffle aswell as Back to Hockey sessions aimed at people who either haven’t played hockey for years or who are considering playing for the first time.
