Covid-19 Travel disruption

As our 1st XI senior men's team were sadly due to set off today to compete in the European club championships in Vienna and show what they can do after a tough ask in last years EHL KO16. We as a club have decided to turn it into a positive. We ask every club member young and old to dust off the bikes and stretch out those legs in aid of the NHS and towards a club support fund for anyone struggling financially going into the 2020/21 season.

We will be running, walking and cycling the distance to each team we were to play from the tournament hosts pitch in Austria for the 5 days the tournament was the be held.
Day 1 and 2 (Thursday and Friday) target the local shores of Disc to the host pitch Post Sv Wein (Austria)2214km
Day 3 (Saturday) target Post SV Wein to Rot Weis Wettigen (Switzerland) 736km (total 2950km)
Day 4 (Sunday) target Post SV Wein to Grunwald Poznan (Poland) 608km (total 3558km)
Day 5 (Monday) target Vinnitsa HC (Ukraine) 1172km.

Total distance aiming to cover as a club is only 4730km. The men's 1st XI are aiming to each cover around 20km each a day but they need YOUR help to reach the target

Watch out for the social media updates on the weekend as well!
