We
are sorry to report the death of Peter Heavey to whom we owe so
much. The funeral was held on 28th March, very well attended by
members both current and past - we adjourned to Peter's
favourite pub afterwards - he would've approved!It’s been a summer of success so far for two of Chesterfield Hockey
Club’s juniors.
Rising star Joe Morton has been selected
to play for the Pennine Pumas Under 17 squad in the England Hockey
Futures Cup later this month. The competition features the best
young players in England, Wales and Scotland playing in six regional
teams – the Pennine Pumas, Saxon Tigers, Mercia Lynx, Wessex
Leopards, Celtic Jaguars (Wales) and Caledonian Cougars (Scotland).
The tournament takes place in St Albans between the 21st and 24th
August, where the England selectors will be casting a close eye on
proceedings.
Joe also took part in a recent Home Nations tournament as part of
the Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE) program at Lilleshall
national sports centre. The competition featured the DiSE teams
England ‘Red’, England ‘White’ and England ‘Blue’ alongside England
U16s, Scotland and Ulster. Joe captained England ‘Red’ and came away
with a silver medal, losing to England U16s on penalties after the
game was tied 2-2 in normal time. The event also forms part of the
assessment process for the England U18s squad.
Lead junior coach Christian Battye – “Joe has worked incredibly hard
on and off the pitch and should take great pride in his attitude and
dedication to the sport. He has been a consistently high performer
at junior regional level and to see him on that Pennine Pumas squad
list and in the England ‘Red’ shirt was a proud day for the club
too. His goal is to be selected for an England trial in September –
he’s certainly on the right track to achieve that”.
There was also more good news with young umpire Esther Beardsley
being appointed to officiate at the Futures Cup.
This comes after impressing during the regional Performance Centre
Competition days and working incredibly hard over the past few
seasons.
St
Mary’s pupil Esther has also been promoted to the Performance
Support Panel for young umpires in the Midlands.
Christian Battye – “Esther has really taken ownership of her own
development over the last couple of years and it’s great to see her
rewarded with a place at the Futures Cup. Being an umpire can be a
pretty tough gig at times but Esther has a natural talent for it.
She’s gained great experience with Chesterfield and Staveley Ladies
HC over the past few seasons and we wish her all the best for the
tournament”.
