Lee Valley Trip Secured

Congratulations to North Stafford Hockey Club Men's 2s who reached the final of the England Hockey Tier 4 Cup with a 3-1 victory over Surbiton Originals in the semi-final at Newcastle-under-Lyme School. Two goals from Andrew Barker and a third from Head of Men's Hockey, Jon Snape, secured the side's place in the final.

It has been a fantastic year for the side who have already clinched promotion from Midlands NW6 as Champions. This is the first time the side has entered the England Hockey Cup Competitions, and they progressed to this stage with earlier wins against Triton 2s, Runcorn 1s, Towcester 1s and West Derby 2s.

The final will be an all-Midlands affair, as North Stafford play University of Nottingham 6s. The students were 2-1 winners over City of Manchester 2s in their semi-final.

The final will take place at Lee Valley on Sunday, 4th May, as both sides look to round off their superb seasons with a national title.
