@FowerakerE @RussellLuke24 Plus Rob Van Der Horst looks quite a savvy appointment as well (though I don't know exactly what he has done there must be a strong correlation between his appointment and the results).

@stephensroad10 @silshockeyclub Have a load of stick bags you can have as well. What days of the week would work for you best - I can be fairly flexible.

@GoaleeMurph @MACDS94 You also aren't afraid of putting your name to your views (and bothering to be educated enough in the first place about what goes on to have sensible opinions......well, apart from the one that says EH are perfect!) 🤣🤣🤣

@JagBancil @SikhUnionCovHC @Addershockey @GoaleeMurph Sorry I didn't catch you after the game. Good goal and well done on the promotion! Also, general opinion is I was quite lenient with your card only being green 😜

Really enjoyable afternoon umpiring. @SikhUnionCovHC just edging @Addershockey 3-2 in a very skilful game with both teams working with the umpires. Thanks to @GoaleeMurph for the invite & great to enjoy the usual hospitality and good conversations about umpiring #InMemoryOfNemo

@ro_jito @GoaleeMurph Two legendary men, who do great things for others. Sadly I am aware of why you are both connected and can say I am blessed to be lucky enough to know two people that are able to now help others with the black dog. I am grateful to know you both and take inspiration from you both

@GoaleeMurph @SikhUnionCovHC @Addershockey For the record, I didn't 'fall over'....I got 'attacked' by the SU speaker!

Busy day yesterday, with some actual work! Some exciting conversations starting the final stages in a significant project. Then the evening was just as important, lots of volunteers from @silshockeyclub having in depth conversations around ongoing strategy and player development.

@theoldbloke Totally agreed, but I have always been someone who worries about things I can personally control, and park the things I cannot influence.

Really good to request and receive feedback from @WorcesterHC women about Saturday's game. Very positive comments and the one or two things flagged up will feed nicely into the upcoming @silshockeyclub Umpire Development session on Player/Game management #UnitingTheCommunity

@theoldbloke @WorcesterHC @silshockeyclub I specifically sent an email to the Captain as I had not managed to catch her after the game (both of us were busy). To her, and her team's credit, she wrote a very well constructed & considered reply. I think umpires need to ask teams directly and not be afraid of the response.

Twitter / X once again proving to be the meeting ground for the unread, ill informed and overly opinionated! Not long now before I move away from this platform. Too easy for someone to post completely incorrect information and seemingly drum up support for it.

@KingIan @NPUAhockey @WestHockeyOfcls Having both umpired him and with him, I can also assure you that Chris D's awareness of umpiring is fully established with a background in the 'dark arts' of playing as well! #poacherturnedgamekeeper

Lovely morning to umpire a close game. Enjoyed watching the game & not having to get too involved, but you do sometimes question why some people choose to play when they are so miserable all game! Gorgeous day, two teams wanting to play hockey and yet 2 or 3 players still whinge!

Really pleased to have been invited to umpire this game. Hopefully my colleague and I contributed to the flow of the game. Some fantastic finishes and great saves by the home keeper were the difference. Would love more games to be like this!

For those of you still on X! This will be the 7th Hockey for Heroes tour I have been involved in (yes I know I am an old git!) The group continues to evolve and do amazing things for an amazing cause. The highlight for this tour is it starts a few minutes down the road :)

@hockeyforrest @PGSsport @SolihullSport Always keen to publicise the fact that umpiring is enjoyable and not something that should only ever be seen as a chore! The more we tell people how good it is, the more chance there is that others may give it a try :)

Really pleasing feedback from the @PGSsport coach after today's game against @SolihullSport . The Solihull team won the U16 Girls Tier 1 Plate Semi-Final and we didn't need to get too involved - always enjoy a game I can stand and watch :)
