A quick change of umpire at half time freed up an extra player and provided some more youth (!) for the tiring legs of the ageing All Stars team, and it wasn’t long before Gray completed his hattrick, waiting patiently (standing still) on the penalty spot to deflect home a well-placed pass from Sam Deane on the right to make it 4-1.
Final score: Enfield All Stars 6 Winchmore Wanderers 3. A great afternoon meeting up with friends old and new. But more importantly raising £483 for Hockey for Heroes / Help for Heroes.
Many thanks to everyone who organised, played, umpired, supported, baked cakes and donated to the raffle. Your support is hugely appreciated and will make a difference.
