Westbury stepped in to play the West Derby Help for Heroes on their mammoth 9 day 23 match tour around the country. The tourists had a mix of young 20 somethings and more senior players, whilst Westbury field a side drawn from across the club. This prestigious event started with a group photo and then the umpires led both teams out onto the pitch with a Premiership style hand shake to welcome the tourists. W Derby opened strongly despite having played three games in two days. They opened the scoring early, a sharp cross was expertly deflected past Pete Murphy, a quality finish which suggested there was much more of the same to come. The Heroes keeper showed his ability with some very good saves as Westbury began to put some moves together, but he couldn't keep out a Neil Richardson 'special' when Neil struck from the top of the D. The Heroes had lost to Leek on Friday by 5-3, beaten Worcester 6-1 and then shared a 6-6 draw with Gloucester on Saturday. They looked capable of scoring goals, but it was something of a shock (certainly to me) when Westbury took a 2-1 lead. Max Longden skillfully worked his way round the right hand side of the D, shaped to shoot at the near post, but slipped the ball square for Martin Palmer to tap in. A little later a similar goal followed when Alistair Kemp was the creator of the goal and Sam Parker the recipient of a fine square pass. Both teams battled away testing their opposing defenders. The visitors squad were made up of half and half of club players and military hockey players, whose playing ethic was never to give up. They started the second half pressing Westbury onto the back foot for a long spell, but that cruel new rule caught the Heroes out when a stinging cross from the right found a defender's stick and deflected in for an own goal. This put Westbury 4-1 up. The Heroes then mounted a come back with two goals, one of them a stunning short corner drag flick. With the deficit now just one goal W Derby looked more likely to score. A resilient Westbury defence held out. The Heroes did net, but found the umpire had already awarded a short corner. Another drag flick flew just over the crossbar and the final whistle came with an unexpected Westbury win by 4-3. W Derby then joined us at The Vic for Rhona and Ernie's excellent post match hospitality. The real winner was that despite the short time to prepare for the game, Westbury raised close to £500 when gift aid is added in, towards the Heroes target of £20,000. We were proud to have been invited to take part in this special tour and everyone enjoyed a special day of hockey and showed what a great club we are. Thanks go to Tom Sammes and Phil Beer who umpired excellently.

Palmer's prattle: The Bishops opened their summer campaign with an excellent win at home to an experienced Frys team. The victory was achieved through a combination of rock solid defending, dynamic midfield action and positive forward play. The defence didn't allow Frys and space or time to threaten Pete Murphy in goal, when they did find a gap late in the game, Pete made a fine smothering save to keen his goal intact. The defensive work was shared by Martin Fey, Tom Lloyd-Jones, Tom Greenslade, Tom Taylor and Mark Kavanagh. Their outstanding work was the foundation for the win. The midfield duties were shared by Tom Ash, John Ludley, Alan Sparks and Graeme Maguire. Up front Martin Palmer, Ben Shannon, Max Roberts and Sam Parker were in great form. Tom Lloyd-Jones and Graeme Maguire were playing their first summer league games after joining the club early in 2013. Max Roberts was playing his first game at Bishops level and Ben Shannon made his club debut. Ben hasn't played for 7 years since graduating from University. It would seem unfair to pick out anyone for special praise because the whole team played at the top of their games for the whole match. However, I feel duty bound to mention young players Tom Greenslade and Max Roberts who impressed with most of the things they did in the game. Now they need to add mixing running with the ball with passing to team mates to further enhance their already large contributions. They should pick out the early pass when players are in space. The only goal of the game came about 5 minutes before half time. A Frys defender in clearing the ball hit his own player, the ball fell to Westbury on the Frys' 25. Ben Shannon took two steps forward and slipped it left to Sam Parker. Sam entered the D on the left side, he might have shot then with the keeper set, but he drifted right, pulling the keeper across with him and cleverly slipped the ball pass the keeper for a fine goal. Both Martin Palmer and Tom Taylor blaized the ball over the bar when scoring might have been easier, one in each half. The majority of chances were Westbury's, and when the final whistle came the one goal proved to be enough. Thanks to Chris Cocks for umpiring at short notice (Sunday). Well done chaps, next up it Shepton Mallet on Tuesday at home.

Ogilvie's observations: Lost 3-0 to a very strong Bath Bucs side, majority in late 20's. Went 3-0 down in first half but found our shape and that's the way it stayed. Would be surprised if Bath don't walk this league. New players = Will Edgbert and Johnson Millin - Just moved here from Zimbabwe.
