After an encouraging start to Lent Term on the hockey pitch, the boys experienced the first real week of failure this academic year. The 1st XI agonisingly dropped out of the cup on penalty flicks, before losing 8-3 to promotion rivals Rochdale on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Pride endured their own disappointment as they lost in a friendly to Liverpool John Moore
Wednesday's match reports
Socials do not disappoint
|
Despite a rocky week on the pitch, the hockey social scene did not disappoint. After a strong bus back from Liverpool, the 1s joined the usual crew downstairs in Bentley's for a typically large social. The introduction of the fruit game and a social-wide game of 5s sparked mayhem, with only a few surviving such a ruthless test. Whilst socials have been derided as outdated in the past, LUMHC proved once again that they can adapt to the times, with another brand spanking new game, where competitors have to channel their inner Roger Federer, to accompany the other favourites that have been introduced so far this year.
After a difficult week and a stressful beginning to the term, the boys thought it best to have a quiet social on Saturday, with everyone enjoying each other's company whilst consuming the contents of a crate. Whilst the boys were having a nice, quiet Saturday night in, unfortunately the hooligans from Fylde Football struck once again. Somehow hearing about the whereabouts of social, the yobs descended upon Dryllan's flat, before using kitchen roll that didn't belong to them and playing cricket with Dryllan's pots and pans. May their heads be struck from their shoulders. Bellend was so Cross from such an incident spoiling his quite Saturday night, all he could think about was Mi, mi, mi. |
