Hockey time storm darragh style. We don’t call off hockey unless the pitch is frozen like concrete. Hardcore sport.

And that's why I loathed hockey. The banks of the Mersey in Manchester on a freezing cold, wet winter's day - in a short skirt with bare legs. Practically torture. Small wonder I ♥️ cricket.

A sport that can't happen in the rain and is organised around meals, what's not to love?

I umpired for Aire Valley H.C this afternoon with the wind howling down from Haworth Moor. Conditions were brutal.

Remember watching a Quins rugby game where they were brushing the snow off the lines frequently

My mum once got hit in the face by a hockey ball and just played on. At the end of the game someone noticed her face was swollen - outcome, a broken cheekbone. Yeah, hardcore.

I remember playing in hail stones and high wind, when one player got injured both teams huddled like penguins in the middle of the pitch! Happy times!
