Mix & Match Tournament 13 July 2015
13th July saw 8 adults and 3 junior members take part in the North West Underwater Hockey Mix and Match Tournament. Joel Thetford and Isaac Dawson, both Junior players from Rochdale UWHC, were warmly welcomed to their first ever M&M competition, and held their own and then some against the adult players many of whom represent GB and teams who are in the top handful of all the UWH teams nationally. Alison Greaves also played in her second M&M tournament. There was a lot of positive feedback abut the contribution made by our Junior players.
Adult players from Rochdale included Frank Greaves, Ian Tait and Helen Hyde, Jonny Bostock and Dane Bradwell. Barrie Whitehead and Mick Hyde were the Poolside referees.
3 GB u19 girls/ladies, who will be playing in the forthcoming world championships, were also playing - Zoe Higham, Honor Sangster and Abbie Thompson all put in 100% effort tonight!
Also a warm welcome to Jon Richards - currently playing with York Uni - originally from New Zealand.
Hope to see as many of you as possible at the next mix & match - which will be held on the 7th September at Manchester Aquatics Centre.
