For the first time this millennium, Monkstown Hockey took the field last Saturday without Gareth Watkins donning the number nine jersey for the first day of the season. Spoke to his this week following his decision to retire after 20 memorable years: hookhockey.com/index.php/2020…

It is with the heaviest of hearts that all YMCA Cricket Club mourn the passing of Cecil Medcalf in his 95th year.Very much the Father Figure of all things YM and a member of 80 years standing.Taught so much to so many, particularly the gift of giving to one’s club.A really great man.

This Italian team epitomise what team sports are all about 👏

Really sad news. An amazingly encouraging teacher who always had a smile on his face. His presence will be missed in the classroom, at the 40ft and at the side of the hockey pitch on Saturdays supporting former pupils. R.I.P.

One of the worlds best! Never played dedicated, hard working team mate. Proud to have shared the pitch with you on so many occasions David Fitzgerald Enjoy the retirement sheets!
