Welcome

We are a friendly hockey club based at the Cow Roast, just between Berkhamsted and Tring.We run 5 mens teams and 4 ladies teams, covering all ages and abilities.

For the stars of the future, we have a packed youth section, split into various age ranges, training at various times.

The men play in the Eastern Counties league and the ladies play in the 5 Counties league.

These leagues comprise clubs spread across Hertfordshire and nearby parts of the neighbouring counties.

Our clubhouse and grounds are available for hire. See the Clubhouse Hire section or click the button below to send us a message.

LADIES 1s WIN LOCAL DERBY
It was a great weekend for the top teams with the Ladies 1s beating West Herts 7-1. An evenly spread of goals were scored by Rosie Bartholomew (x2), Steph Vere Hodge, Sarah Brydon, Mollie Beard, Abi Lawlor and Megan Savage. Player of the match to Rosie Bartholomew. WON 7-1 Match Report

Elsewhere the Men's 1s were also victorious with a solid win over Cheshunt - the scoreline was 5-2.
Ollie Bowman claimed Man of the Match, must have been something to do the 4 goals he tucked away! Well done to anyone who selected him in the fantasy league! WON 5-2 Match Report

The Ladies 2s (pictured below) beat Letchworth 3-0 with player of the match Mari Thomas scoring a brace and Alison Kraft scoring the other. WON 3-0 Match Report

The Ladies 3’s have made it 3 wins from 3 with a 5-1 victory over Welwyn. Goal scorers Terraine (on fire) Payton x 3, Kate Goodwyn x 1 and Ellie Cella x 1. Player of the match was a 4 way tie with 2 votes each for Terri, Hannah, Kate G and Ellie, and 1 vote each for Zoe, Emily, Kate H, Rosey and Jenny. The spread shows what a great team performance it was. WON 5-1 Match Report

The Men’s 3s were reduced to only 10 players but fought valiantly with some great hockey and came out losing by the smallest margin. Lost 2-1 Match Report

Seems to be a similar theme for the start of this season for the Men's 2s, another loss this time to Potters Bar - 7-1. However the scoreline does not reflect the effort and commitment from the team, absolutely nothing to be disappointed of. We go again next week in search of a win. Lost 7-1 Match Report

The one thing the Men's 3s do seem to be good at is telling jokes...

Why was Cinderella bad at hockey?
Her coach was a pumpkin.

Santa Sleigh Collection

OK, so it may be a bit on the early side to be getting ready for Christmas but I know that Santa Sleigh is becoming something of an annual ritual for many club families.

This event has raised literally hundreds of pounds for our club as well as local good causes and all it takes is 6 to 8 club members spending a couple of hours escorting Santa through the streets of Berko.

Its great fun, a good way to get in the festive mood and an opportunity for a few drinks to warm up after.

Date : Thursday 20th December

Time : 6-8pm

Route : tbc

Meet : Garages at end of Clarence Road (limited parking) at least 20 minutes prior to departure

Let Nick Cave know if you can spend a couple of hours with Santa.
