England Hockey vs India today wasn’t just a fantastic hockey match — it made football look like walking football. Honestly, after watching that pace, the Premier League feels like a Sunday stroll with shin pads.
Football had Messi, Neymar and Suarez England hockey has Bandurak, Croft and Rushmere.

England ladies need change and change fast. The skill on the pitch vs actual performance is shocking.
Did we just see a full time professional hockey athlete chuck an overhead about 10m, over one player, to a central midfield player just outside their own 25?! (Who then lost it) What the actual… England women, you have to laugh or you’ll cry

Embarrassing from one of the best funded programmes in the World. Two over funded programmes crashing out in the groups. Serious questions need asking, sure @MemEnglandhokey will prompt the debate.

Weather forecast for Sfântu Gheorghe (Municipiu Sfântu Gheorghe) from the Met Office weather app. Thu 29 May: Mist, a day high of 4°C, night low of -2°C. @metoffice think you need to find a new provider, certainly hasn't been snowing this week nor -2, just rather wet!!!

If this gets thru a number of clubs will be folding unless there are clear benefits.
England hockey club membership ——Clubs trying their hardest — new membership cost takes club cost from £5k to £10k next season for no real tangible benefit bar a few online courses. Use your AGM vote carefully @EnglandHockey @MemEnglandhokey @TheHockeyPaper

The worst thing is this was clearly premeditated. It was a trap. Trump and Vance deliberately wanted to humiliate Zelensky. They wanted to make him grovel in the Oval Office to make Putin and their MAGA base happy. Utter scum.

You are talking to a scammer, they are only looking for ways to part you from your money. Try @TUIUK.

Amongst all the nonsense being spouted about football’s proposed blue card, how refreshing to see a proper journalist taking the time to understand how other sports do it. This from Martin Samuel in the @thetimes

🇬🇧🏑 Huge match for Great Britain! If the women's team beat Belgium they will make it to the Paris Olympics... if they lose, they go into a 3rd/4th place play-off. Watch now on @BBCiPlayer, Red Button and the BBC Sport app ⬇️

Old Georgians earned a place in the EHL FINAL8 for the first time as they won a heated battle against the Waterloo Ducks 3-2 in Barcelona. #ehlko16

A very helpful person at @BracknellForest has recorded the issue. Someone is going to clear it up. While I'm grateful, this is an expense that should be recovered from @wearesilvahomes , not the council tax payers. Where else is this happening...

I hope they were jagerbombs 😉 But seriously 45 shots!!
Our umpire has just bought us 45 shots. Other umpires take note. Also @SE_HockeyUK we beat Surrey Spartans 7-0, please change the incorrect score.
