Pickering Hockey Club Awards Evening! 🍾

For those joining us, we’re heading to Scarborough this Saturday for an afternoon of bowling and celebrations.

The votes are in and the trophies are ready — looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it!

LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 🏆

With an incredible +65 goal difference, only one loss all season, and a run of dominant performances, our ladies have stormed their way to the league title and secured promotion for next season 🙌🏼🙌🏼

This achievement is even more impressive given the team stepped into a brand-new league to them this year. After many seasons competing in the North Yorkshire divisions, an England Hockey restructure placed us into the YNE North East Division 4 Tees league — a new challenge and a step into the unknown.

Out of 18 scheduled fixtures, 6 were cancelled through no fault of our own, but the squad never let that halt their momentum. They kept pushing, stayed focused, and fully earned their place at the top.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the club this season — our spectators, umpires, coaches, sponsors, committee, and of course every single one of our amazing ladies ❤️

We can’t wait to take on next season with you all! 🏑

Happy International Women’s Day to all the brilliant women who make our team what it is 💙🏑

From the players on the pitch to those supporting us along the way 🫶🏼

Pickering Ladies v Northallerton 3s
This week Pickering welcomed Northallerton 3s to Swainsea Lane.
The push back time was put back as efforts were made to address some issues with the pitch, several patches needing sand application due to lingering frost.
With the sun shining gloriously and ambient temperatures rising by the minute, the game finally got underway at 12.00
It was an even affair to start with, neither side really dominating proceedings. With 15 minutes gone Pickering took the lead, Lauren Turnbull picking up the ball in the centre of the pitch , driving forward towards the D and hitting it in , finding Chelsea Pepper who fired home from an acute angle.
The home side had the upper hand for the remainder of the half but were kept at bay by some resolute defending by the visitors.
The second half was a more even affair with almost end to end action. Both sides saw a good amount of action in the attacking D’s along with a number of short corner’s.
However both defences along with their keepers held firm with the game ending at 1-0 to Pickering.
A really good game of Hockey with two evenly matched sides giving their all , also great to see a number of youngsters on the pitch from both sides, more than holding their own.
The award for Player of the match was shared by Chloe Garbutt and Ellie Allan, well done to all.
Next week is a free week,Darlington 3s being the visitors on the 28th of February.
