South Berkshire Hockey Club 2022/2023 Season

BY CHRIS COOK

On the whole 22/23 season proved a very successful one for SBHC.

The Men’s 1st suffered last day heartbreak,losing at home to Witney and allowing Haslemere to steal 2nd spot.A small consolation is they were the league’s top goal scorers.

The Men’s 2nd escaped relegation on the last day, with a tension-filled 2-1 win over Eastcote at Cantley Park.

The Men’s 3rd finished in a mid-table 5th,with 12 wins for the season.

The Men’s 4th had the honour of the best performance of the season by winning their league,dropping only 4 points all season and hitting 99 goals.

The Men’s 5th gained promotion on the last day of the season ,with a dramatic 1-1 draw against 3rd place Reading.

The Men’s 6th finished 3rd in their league ,just 4 points away from a promotion spot.

The Ladies 1st team won promotion in their league ,and only just failed to win the league with a last day draw ,giving Reading the title by two points.

The Ladies 2nd team also gained promotion finishing 2nd in their division ,with 17 wins for the season and having the best defence in the league.

The Ladies 3rd team had a very disappointing season ,with just one win all season and finishing bottom.

The Ladies 4th team finished in 4th with 11 wins from 22 games.

The Ladies 5th team also finished 4th with 10 wins from their 20 games
