RARE INDOOR DOUBLE: Not since the early 1980's has a club won both the Mens and Ladies Indoor Title in the same season, and in fact never has this been achieved with the competition in its current format... until Sunday January 31st ! Following a successful league programme where our Ladies finished 2nd and our Men finished top, both sides headed to Wembley for the Semi Finals and Finals. With ten BT Sport cameras broadcasting the action live for around 6 hours in HD and over 5,000 spectators present it was to prove an exciting day.
More than 200 EGHC supporters came to Wembley in fine voice to see the Ladies defeat Bowdon Hightown 1:0 in a tense Semi Final, followed by the Men coming out 6:3 winners after a competitive Semi Final against Sevenoaks. The finals proved to be equally exciting; both EG and Canterbury Ladies hitting posts before EG finished 3:1 ahead to secure our first Ladies National Title at this level. The Mens final score line of 5:1, also against Canterbury does not reflect the contribution Canterbury made with 5 corners that Paddy Smith kept out during the match. EGHC also secured individual awards with Malou Phenickx and Ross Stott being awarded players of the finals, and David Condon securing the goal of the day award.
