I don’t want to eat or pay the prices for the food @EnglandHockey @FIHProLeague When I go to other much bigger sporting events I can take a packed lunch in: Lords, Oval, Trent Bridge, rugby etc. I travel approx 3 hours to LV to watch, surely not too much to ask to take food in?

now the 1-0 Clifton win has, nearly 24 hours later been reversed- the same happened to clubs last week. We are reliant on @EnglandHockey getting results published correctly and on time. Wrong results, mythical scorers, results not posted- TOTAL SHAMBLES and unfair on clubs/Fans

Congratulations to @HockeyWales men for qualifying for the World Cup. The last 9 minutes were agony to watch and it always looked it would be a tight game. Skill, grit, effort, belief all on evidence throughout the competition- well done all.

That was an unbelievable performance by @HockeyWales men to beat Scotland 5-0, needing to win by 3 clear goals, and progress to the semi final of the WCQ. That will go down as one of their best turnarounds in history - awesome and well done!

Heather Knight out - last 5 overs and England middle order collapsing again. Make sure you take 1 every ball and then put the bad ball away - not playing with their brains.

all a bit confusing. The county cricket season has finished, players want to play less but lots of news coming out of players going to the USA, Middle East, other tournaments. So does getting more money in these mean tiredness suddenly disappears or is it all smoke/mirrors.

What a way for 3 11 year olds to have their first full day at a County Championship day. Thanks you to all the ⁦@Gloscricket⁩ and ⁦@lancscricket_⁩ who signed and had photos with them at beautiful Cheltenham - brill day for them.

Fantastic couple of days as the Women's Club Masters came to Swansea over the weekend!🏑 Some fantastic hockey played in great spirits throughout, and a great social event during which players caught up on and off the pitch! It was great to open with an O60s Women's Masters invitational match on the Friday, too. Llongyfarchiadau to Eryri Gogs on their Championship win, beating Wrexham Wrinklies - who did fantastically to reach the final two having been promoted from the Trophy Division last year - in the final!🏆 And da iawn to Merched Maldwyn - a new team entered this year - for winning the Trophy!👏 Thanks to @SwanseaHC for the provision of refreshments, as well as Anne Barrett, Lynda Bennett, Judith Livesey and Hilary Williams for helping to coordinate!

Amazing day presenting Harold Griffiths with his Welsh hockey cap. Harold played 2 matches for Wales in 1951 and we believe, at 97 years of age, he is our oldest living senior international.

Joe Root clearly showing how you bat in a 50 over match to reach a target whilst at the other end brainless cricket means his knock could be in vain - just play the situation.

⏪130 years ago to the day, Wales and Ireland met for the first ever international hockey match. The nations went face to face in Rhyl - at the time the only town in Wales with a hockey club - with the visitors coming away 3-0 winners. From an awful sea passage for the Irish side to a blinding snowstorm during the action, it was an eventful and truly historic occasion. Find a full report, including a list of players involved➡hockeywales.org.uk/post/130-… @RhylHockeyClub @thehockeymuseum @pplscollection @HeritageFundUK @irishhockey

Thought Angelina Jolie would have at least been Oscar nominated for her role as Maria Callas - far surpasses anything she has ever done.
