This is a message from Adam Smith captain and goalkeeper of Basingstoke 1st X1 following the game on Sunday.
On behalf of the team and all the supporters that travelled up yesterday, I would like to say a massive thank you. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and were offered help and assistance with anything we needed.
The game of hockey itself was a great game and it was a shame that it had to go to the lottery of penalty flicks.
Spalding are the best team we have played all season and it was a very enjoyable game. Your players and supporters were also very friendly and I had a chat with some both before and after the game.
Thanks again and best of luck for next season and your Club’s continuing future.
Regards
Adam Smith
Basingstoke Men’s 1st X1 Captain
