Please Support

This Sunday (7th March) the Boys U16 continue in their quest to add outdoor National Champions to the Indoor Title they have already won.

They are playing at HSBC starting at midday against a good City of York side and I am sure that all support would be greatly appreciated.

This is an extremly talented side and to add the U16 Outdoor title to the
- U!6 Indoor National Championship
- Last Years U15 Outdoor National Championship
would add to an already brilliant effort.

Hope to see you all there to cheer them on.

Boys U16 Indoor = NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

Congratulations to the Under 16 Boys Indoor team who won their NATIONAL FINAL at Nottingham Trent FM Arena yesterday.

They beat Havant 7 - 3 with Harry Sellars scoring 5 of the goals


U16 Boys Clubs Final

Bromley & Beckenham 7 (5)
Harry Sellers 3,6,11,26,28 (PC,F,PC,F,F)
Harry Sainsbury 11 (F)
Rob Farrington 14 (F)

Havant 3 (2)
George Cairns 4 (F)
Josh Gibbard 5 (F)
Sam Hatherley 21 (F)

A man of the match performance from Bromley & Beckenham’s Harry Sellars clinched the U18 Boys Clubs title at the National Indoor Hockey Championships in Nottingham on Sunday morning against Havant.

From the outset Bromley & Beckenham (B&B) took the game to Havant with Harry Sainsbury forcing Havant goalkeeper Matt Levy into an early save. Less than a minute later the other Harry, Harry Sellers, had his goal bound shot cleared off the line by Havant's Daniel Faulkner.

It was not long before B&B broke the deadlock through Harry Sellers’ low flick at a penalty corner but Havant were level almost immediately through George Cairns who pushed home after good work from a teammate down the left hand side. Havant then took the lead a minute later through Josh Gibbard who tapped in from close range after the ball had rebounded to him
off the post.

B&B pulled themselves back level in slightly fortunate circumstances when Harry Sellers broke into the right hand side of the circle and his pass across circle was turned into the goal but an unfortunately Havant defender, the B&B boy credited with the goal.

Midway through the half the team in white were ahead after an excellent piece of play. A pinpoint through ball from Bromley & Beckenham captain Rob Farrington was met by Harry Sainsbury inside the circle. Sainsbury added the faintest of touches to guide the ball beyond Levy and inside the far post.

By now B&B were enjoying the better of the half and Sellers bagged his second from a low penalty corner effort into the bottom corner. Shortly after, his intercept on the halfway line allowed him the space to drive into the circle and his effort brought out the best in Levy who saved well with stick.

Just before the break Farrington got his reward for an excellent first period with a tidy finish into the bottom corner for 5-2. The Havant team talk had obviously fired up the Hampshire boys and three minutes into the second half Tom Martin in the B&B goal had to be sharp to
snuff out a one-on-one at the top of the circle. At the other end Sellers so nearly added to his tally but for the width of the post as he watched his shot across goal come back off the upright and away to safety.

On 19 minutes Havant looked certain to score after a good cross towards far post but Ollie Preston’s intervention prevented a goal. Martin then blocked well at the top of his circle from a Havant penalty corner but could do nothing to stop Sam Hatherley’s shot in the 21st minute.
From the left top of the circle Hatherley shaped his shot across the goalkeeper and into
the back of the net, hitting the top of the backboard.

Bromley & Beckenham seemed content to soak up Havant pressure, hitting back on the counter attack. Goal number six came four minutes from time as Sellers finished from close range with the simplest of tap ins after rounding the goalkeeper.

The goal sparked Havant into change as they replaced the goalkeeper with kicking back but it proved to be too little too late. By the time Sellers rounded off a fine display with his fifth in the 28th minute he had already seen Levy return to the pitch to save his penalty stroke effort but it was not to matter as BROMLEY & BECKENHAM finished the match 7-3 winners and
NATIONAL INDOOR CHAMPIONS for the first time.

Paintballing! Sun 24th Jan

I'm organising a paintballing day on Sunday 24th Jan. It's likey to be at the one in Orpington, but as yet undecided.

The day will start at 9am and finish about 4pm, we'll have loads of diffrent games, so you'll have plenty of chances to sniper your mates. But, apparently 'Pistol Whipping' is not allowed and neither is fastening a bayonet to the end of your gun!

Your looking at a cost between £40-£60 depending on how many paintballs you go through. But i'll only need £10 upfront, in order to pay your deposit, the paintballs we can buy on the day.

All are welcome, both boys and girls, so if you fancy coming along and chasing your pals through the woods - then let me know.
