THE 9THH2Tt—l novAL LANCERS REGlMENtAt JOURNAL Hockey .,, The Reglrnental Hockey Team » Wolfenbuttel 1984; Back Row: Lt Reed, wo Ducker, Cpl Chattock, Lt Carver, Cpl Franklln; Front Row: Cpl Lyons, Tpr Trolley, Tpr Ives Thls season has been a [true of reorganlsation and change tn the 9/12L hockey world. In Hohne a lot of our strength came from a very expenenced and skilled LAD contingent, men Ilke Staff Walsh and Sgt Elnck, enabled us to reach the finals ot both the Cavalry Cup and 1st Armoured Dlvlslon Cup last season, We were sad to see them exchange the Regtmental strlp tor the green and black ol the Welsh Guards, However, all was not lost tor "."O Gowrnan, the lynch pm of the hockey team for the last 3 seasons, accompanled us to Woltenbuttel. Here he has helped to bulld a new team, drawn almost unlquely from the sabre troops, The move has meant the reappearance of many lorgotten laces and even the discovery of some new talent, especially among the forwards, It also resulted in the Band returnlng once more to Reglmental hockey and, under the enlhusrasttc guldanoe 01 Staff McGauley, has provtded a useful soarrlng partner for the Reglrnental Team, as well as a pool at reserves from whlch to draw One ol the few advantages Holme held over Wolfenbuttel was lt’s accessablllty for matches, and thls has certalnly been felt when trylng to arrange league fixtures with other teams. Not surprisrngly, because of the new team, It has not been a year of great successes. Our first match ln Woltenbuttel was played away agalnst the ACC Dlsaster struck when a hard shot broke O Gowrnan’s wrist and we lost the game 2 , l. More recently we went to Hohne for the Dlvlslonal Slx ,3 , Slde Contpetltlon. This agaln ended wtth a casualty when an opponent came olt wrth a broken leg after a close encounter with (Lt Reed) the goalle. Unfortunately we stlll lost! <.;. 2 Gowman, Lt Martln‘, Centre Row: Tpr thtet, Tor However, It was a very good effort provlng that we certainly have the talent for a very good squad next season, even rt we lack expenence. The team whlch played was, Lt Carver, Lt Reed, Cpl Lyons, Cpl Moulds, LCpl Franklm, Tprs Wlnters, Ives, Ducker and Trolley. Flnally, the Reglmenl would llke to say goodbye to O Gowman and Col Lyons who thl not be wtth us at the ttme of the next Issue, lt has been largely due to thelr unftagglng energy and commltment over the years that t 9/ tZL hockey has been so solrilen and 1 successful. All concerned wtll hugs the farnlllar slght of 'Tlgger’ Lyon's solld hgure ln defence and 0's contlnual exhortatlons to greater things, when most of us are dreaman of the post rmatch plnl! TRC |
