Weather Affected Hockey, 9th and 10th of December
Friday, 8th of December 2017
An ongoing run-down of all weather-affected fixtures and sessions this weekend, the 9th and 10th of December
Temperatures this weekend are expected to be even lower than last weekend, which also saw cancellations, to the point where even home games at the Lindum Sports Association and Lincoln University may be called off.
The BBC, on their weather website, are reporting sub zero temperatures tonight in Lincoln and they’re not going to get much higher than two or three degrees centigrade throughout the whole of Saturday. That being said please assume that, if there is no news on here, that everything is going forward as planned on Saturday and Sunday.
Don’t forget that parking for the Christmas Market is available at the Lindum Sports Association.
Saturday Hockey
The Mens 2s game outcome now sees no hockey at all taking place on Saturday at the club. This post will be updated throughout the weekend to cover Sunday’s matches as well.
Junior Training
There were no plans for Junior Training this weekend in any case, due to the Lincoln Christmas Market. Although this isn’t affected by the weather, we’d advise that parents and guardians enjoy their lie-in!
Ladies 1s
The match in Hull at 11:30pm is off due to a frozen pitch.
Ladies 4s
Driffield 3 were due to play the Ladies 4s at the Lindum Sports Association at noon, and is the first home game of the day to be cancelled due to the weather / pitch conditions.

The game against Driffield 4, originally scheduled for 11am in Driffield, is now not taking place.
Mens 1s
Neston South Wirral were due to make the journey down to play at the Lindum Sports Association at 1:30pm but the travel, if not the pitch, may well be treacherous and an early call on Friday night had to be made on this fixture.
