Members
of Chesterfield Hockey Club took part in the Spire 10 mile run in
August to raise money for a local cerebral palsy sufferer. Joe Scott,
Christian Battye, Sam Unwin & Steve Lord from the hockey club
were able to raise £400 for 4 year old Josh Higginbottom who suffers
from cerebral palsy. His disability means that he needs alot of
specialist equipment, and the sponsorship money allowed his parents to
buy him an iPad. In September, Josh started school at Brampton Primary
and with the new iPad he will be better able to work and join in at
school with the rest of his classmates.

Rules of Hockey
Based on recommendations from the FIH Rules Committee, the FIH
Executive Board has agreed changes to the Rules of Hockey.
Changes to the Rules of Hockey (with reference to the
numbered Rules in the
2011 edition) are as follows:
Rule 8.1: method of scoring. The way a goal is scored
is amended; it now includes what is sometimes referred to as an “own
goal”. That is, a goal can now be scored after the ball is touched in
the circle by either an attacker or a defender. It is anticipated that
the detailed text will read:
8.1 A goal is scored when:
a) the ball is played by an attacker, or touches the stick or body of a
defender, within the circle
b) after either of these actions, the ball does not travel outside the
circle before passing completely over the goal-line and under the
cross-bar.
This is described as a “Mandatory Experimental Rule” so that it applies
at all levels of hockey but, because it is a significant change, it
will be monitored closely. After a period of review, the FIH Rules
Committee will decide whether or not it becomes a permanent change to
the Rules.
Rules 13.2.d and e: procedures for taking a free hit, centre
pass
and putting the ball back into play. The ball may now be raised
intentionally and directly using a push, flick or scoop action; this
action must be conducted safely. This is essentially an evolution of
what is known as the “self-pass” from a free hit. By having the option
to raise the ball immediately, opposing players will not have had the
opportunity to get closer than five metres; a raised ball should be
safer. It is anticipated that Rules 13.2 d and e will read:
d) the ball is moved using a hit, push, flick or scoop
e) the ball may be raised immediately using a push, flick or scoop but
must not be raised intentionally using a hit.
Rules 13.2.f and g:
as a consequence of the changes above, these Rules have been deleted.
The FIH have indicated that new Rules books incorporating these changes
will be available in the autumn
Could you please pass details of the these changes to your members as
soon as possible.
Many thanks
