We've been struggling of late, with many players absent and more often sick or looking after sick family.

I am confident that we can regain our form soon though and we have some great games to look forward to.

We had a really enjoyable match against Daventry last week end, some of our players were a little disappointed to have drawn.....It was not so long ago that we would have been thrilled with this result and a win would have been unimaginable.......just shows how far we have come in the last three years.

While the Cat's away!

I have been on holiday for the first two league games of this new year and left strict instructions to be followed in my absence. Carrina Pinney stepped into my shoes and captained the Ladies in two exciting games.

Taking the lead against Wellingborough's I's and holding them to a draw upto half time will have given the Olney girls a real boost.

The girls drew with the Wildcatz, this week end, gaining what could be a crucial point.

The fight to stay in this division is going to go right to the last round and the rest of this season is going to be exciting. I for one am looking forward and relishing the challenges ahead.

Happy New Year

Congratulations to Tamsin on the safe arrival of Joel Edward, hope to see you at training in the new Year Tamsin, and I am looking forward to a cuddle with Joel soon.

We end the year with a fond farewell to our coach Alex.

I would like to thank Alex for coaching us to such a good level and we all wish you well in the future. You will be greatly missed Alex thank you for your; hard work, skill, dedication and patience. We will try hard to keep up the high standards that you have set us.

We have had so much to celebrate in the past few weeks; births, birthdays, and to cap off 2006, our highest league position (mid season) ever in the history of Olney Ladies Hockey club.

Just what this Captain had wished for.

Merry Christmas
Jenny

Four weeks in a row and four 3-2 results (two wins two defeats).

Team sprit seems to running high as three of our players celebrate 40th birthdays this week and we look forward to the match against Earls Barton this Saturday it should be a cracker.

We managed to move up into the middle of the table this week after a thrilling game with Kettering II’s and other results going our way. The Olney players are showing increased match fitness and have been playing some high quality hockey. The standard of hockey in the first division is far better and the Olney girls are proving that they are more than worthy of their place in this division, however we still have some hard games to play before Christmas so we are not getting too carried away with the dizzy heights of sixth place just yet.

The new season has started with a bang, two games and two defeats so far. I am far from worried though as the standard of hockey is so much higher than last season and far more enjoyable. The pitch side crèche has expanded to accommodate Erin and the Twinwoods and I wish Tamsin all the best as she looks forward to the birth of her baby in November.
