World Champion
Posted by Nobody on 27 September 2010
The club is proud to announce that we have our own world champion in the form of 5th team regular Jim Tranter. Jim and 4th team club colleague Alan Bain have just been out to Cape Town, South Africa for the Grand Masters Hockey World Cup.
Jim represented England in the Great Grand Masters side(over 65) while Alan played for Scotland in the Grand Masters side (over 60).
In the pool phase of the competition Scotland played six games winning two, England also played six games winning five, losing one game by a solitary goal to Australia.
England progressed to the semi's beating Germany 3-0 before exacting revenge on Australia in the final with a 2-0 win to become World Champions.
Both Jim and Alan return to club duties with the first games of this seasons domestic league starting this Saturday.
A big well done to them both.
