The anticipation is building as the Old Georgians Hockey Club gears up for another thrilling season in the England Hockey League. Following a stellar performance last season, which saw the team secure 17 consecutive victories and top the Premier Division table, the club is ready to hit the ground running with the newly released Phase One fixtures for the upcoming season.

A Look Back at Last Season

Last season was one to remember for Old Georgians. Under the guidance of Ashley Jackson, the team demonstrated remarkable consistency and skill, culminating in a dominant performance that solidified their position as one of the top teams in the league. Highlights included a crucial 4-2 victory over Holcombe and a dramatic comeback win against Beeston, showcasing the team's resilience and tactical prowess.

The team’s success was characterised by standout performances from key players. Henry Weir’s pivotal goals in key moments from penalty corners and the dynamic play of forwards like Sam Ward and Alan Forsyth were instrumental in securing wins and maintaining the team’s unbeaten streak.

Upcoming Fixtures

The release of the Phase One fixtures has fans and players alike eagerly anticipating the start of the season. Old Georgians will kick off their campaign on 21 September with an away match against newly promoted Bowdon. This opener sets the tone for what promises to be an exhilarating season.

Key fixtures to watch include the last three games of Phase One:

• 9 November: Hampstead & Westminster (Away)
• 16 November: Surbiton (Home)
• 23 November: Wimbledon (Home)

These matches will be crucial as Old Georgians face off against last season's top contenders.
