Well done to the Thunder Aspiring and Thunder Emerging squads on the Brave Cup success. 18 Hillhead boys played across these two teams, Barbarians and Devils! Great representation for the club and a fine showcase of the youth programme.

Huge congratulations to our very own Jamie Telfer who has been promoted by the FIH Umpiring Committee to the High Potential Panel.

The FIH states ‘the purpose of the High Potential Panel is to identify, develop and fast-track Officials, who have acquired some international officiating experience and have demonstrated high potential’ and is ‘strictly limited to a small number of very promising candidates’

So we think that’s pretty good! Well done, Jamie! 😎

I’m afraid to say that your admin somehow had an even bigger shocker than he does on the hockey pitch. Fraser, Ally… have your own post to make up for it and sorry!

In case you missed the live updates on Saturday… TWO HILLHEAD FINAL WINS AT GLASGOW GREEN!

In the 11am Reserve Plate game, a very tightly contested game between the 4s and Watson 3s was decided by a Charlie Hamilton goal in the 3rd quarter of the game as the West District side dispatched another Regional League team enroute to cup success.

In the 12pm District Cup game, halfway through the final quarter, it was looking over for the 2s as they had conceded two quick goals to be 2-0 down. But with around 8 minutes left on the clock, Murray McVicar pulled a goal back and the momentum had irrevocably swung. About a minute later, Grant MacMillan equalised from a short corner to level the game up. Finally, almost instantly, a penalty flick was won and player/coach, Craig Hilton, netted the winning goal as the team played out the final four minutes to secure a remarkable comeback.
