GB doing the Argies, if only it was footie!

Are we any good at this now, I remember the glory days of Shaun Curley & co but what are we like now?

    Same here but not many schools had a boys hockey team so we didn;t get to play many matches, shame really

    I don't know but the experts say we have a decent chance of medals in both men and ladies.

    Apparently we are second favourites in the mens behind the Aussies

    Just on way back home from tonight's offering, first time actually at a hockey match , it was a fantastic evening.

    The atmosphere was great fun, the beer was flowing and so was the banter, enjoyed it more than a football match ( heresy on here I know) Team GB were very good to watch and well deserved giving the Argies a pasting.

    Stayed on for the Germany v Belgium game as we enjoyed it so much , and wanted so how good Germany were, they were pants, and a bit lucky imo.

    If you get a chance to go to the Olympic Park at Stratford , it's is amazing, beautifully landscaped with wild flowers etc, but the place was friendly and buzzing, I envy anyone going to watch the track and field, the stadium looks awesome!

    I used to love playing hockey at school too. I remember getting up for the final in '88 and seeing loads of lights going on as the bully off drew near. Sean Kerly Was the nuts at that time!

    It was in hockey that he came out with arguably his most famous line - "Where were the Germans, and frankly, who cares!"

    Oh, if that's the case then they have two dodgy keepers.

    Went to the hockey this morning. Wish male footballers were as hard as women hockey players!

    Need to catch the next GB game. Went to school and lived in the same boarding house as Ashley Jackson, our star player. Was a quiet lad and frustratingly now pretty much the only person in his year I never spoke to in my house. Mind you, he was an upper 6th whilst i was in year 9. Still my current claim to fame.
