U11's League Division 2
Posted By Michaela Parfitt - Competitions Secretary

This season, in U11's League Division 2, we have had 2 teams finish on the same amount of points. As Goal Difference is not applicable, the following remedy will be applied

The highest number of wins, but only between the two level teams
If time allows a play off to be played before Cup Finals Day
Lastly if all else fails it will be declared a joint placing

Both teams have beaten each other twice so it will have to be seen if there is time to play on Cup Finals Day, otherwise a joint placing will be declared

New Tournament Sheet - Schoolboys
Posted By Michaela Parfitt - Competitions Secretary

Due to the bad weather at the beginning of the year we have struggled to juggle the misplaced tournaments into the remaining dates both at EC level and Nationally.

As a result we had to move the last EC Schoolboys tournament, shown on the fixtures list as 24.06.12 to the Saturday 23.06.12 at Soham instead of Wymondham.

The revised schedule can be downloaded here. Although it is still the Norwich home tournament, circumstances surrounding their team means that they will have to run the event at Soham and the team cannot play first so the format has had to be re-jigged to cause as little pain as possible

Roller Hockey Fight Against Teenage Cancer
Posted By Arthur Corr (Peterborough)

Peterborough Roller Hockey Club would like to thank all those players who attended and or donated to the fundraising event.

The amount raised on the night was £500.00 which will be split evenly between the two charities Clic Sargent & The Teenage Cancer Trust.

The idea behind the fund raiser was to say thanks to those people who helped Shannon through her ordeal and to give something back so they can help other people.

Unfortunately Shannon had a relapse and was not able to attend as she was in Addenbrooke's hospital undergoing more treatment.

Shannon was a player with Peterborough Roller Hockey Club before turning to dancing with the Posh All Stars cheerleaders. Doctors mis-diagnosed Shannon's leg problems before finally discovering she was suffering from cancer, which ultimately led to her leg amputation..

The Attendees Were:
Peterborough Roller Hockey Club, Robbie & Tommy Allander, Carlos Amaral, Chinny's Army, Val Conroy, Karl Gay, Andy Locke, John Milne, Rachel O'Reilly, Harry Parfitt & Rees Parfitt, Darcy Quinn-Sekyy, Dale Richardson, Paul Roberts, Harry Southgate & Team Walpole,

Before any trophies were handed out there was a 1 minute standing applause to remember Marion, who sadly lost her battle against cancer in June.

Marion was involved with Colchester Roller Hockey Club for around 20 years. For the last 10 of those years, despite her illness, she was instrumental in keeping the Club going, as without her driving force the club would have folded..

Marion will be a great loss to the sport

Everyone who knew Marion, will be aware that she has been fighting with Cancer for many years and never gave in. She was a very brave lady.

Fundraising On The Day Totalled £210,
with Paul Joy from Bury winning the Roller Hockey Stick
