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.

Masterclass from ⁦@root66⁩ today at Cardiff and was an honour to witness it. Great support from Will Jacks playing a fantastic support role.

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

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.

Day3 at Den Bosch for the Club Euro Finals. Big game tonight when SCHC women take on Den Bosch.

Rugby tournament at Bristol Grammar today and ⁦@HockeyWales⁩ Geoff Cutter’s Welsh and GB Olympics shirt on display.

13 hour round trip for @clobbiesHC W1 v @HolcombeHC W1. Huge result for Clifton and thank you to Holcombe for the hospitality.

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.

Close 2-1 win for @CliftonRobbies W1s with goals from Livvy and SJ v Sutton C in our pre season friendly today.

Yesterday we presented Samantha Roberts with her ⁦⁦@HockeyWales⁩ cap ⁦after the game between ⁦@CliftonRobbies⁩ W2 and ⁦@LansdownHockey⁩ W1 ⁦@ccolsport⁩ Sam gained 2 caps v Scotland in June 2015 and is the latest member of the alumni 1895 club.

⏪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

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

Two great Tests going the 5 days in Australia and South Africa. Again 5 day Test cricket proves it is such a great game and for those advocating 4 day Tests we would have lost out.

And Margaret Richardson watched, for the very first time, the video of England 0 Wales 1 at Wembley in 1963 - 60,000 attendance. Her family were awestruck!

A week ago we visited @thehockeymuseum and presented Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 caps to Margaret Richardson (1962/3) and David Knapp (1985-95). The day ended by presenting Neil McFarlane with his mother’s cap - Dulcie Jenkins who played in 1929!it was an emotional day for all.

Lovely to meet up with Heather Francis to present her with a Welsh cap last weekend!

.@HockeyWales CEO Paul Whapham reflects on the decision to not include the sport at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow ❌🏑 #BBCHockey

@HowardsLHC @WorldHockeyNews Shocker of a decision if right! Totally agree with all you have written; it was a fab event! Met the Kenyans and Ghanaian teams at training and they just so glad to be there and learning. There is a purpose built hockey complex in Glasgow that can be used as it was 4 the Euros.
