Make a Daten with hockey club

WINTER training for Daten Hockey Club's teams is on Thursdays at Padgate High School from 7pm-8pm for anyone who would like to give the club a go.

Daten are hoping there will be people who were inspired by the hockey action in the Commonwealth Games.

Daten have two men's teams and two women's teams that play matches on Saturdays and a women's under 19s team that plays every other Sunday.

During the summer the club sent a mixed team over to Brussels for a tournament and came first.

A smaller group went down to Henley for the annual tournament and had a great weekend.

If you fancy having a go at the sport go down to training.

Contact the club's secretary on 852532 for more details.
