Ramgarhia Hockey Club

Yes once again, the sun was shining, birds chirping, blue skies and boys with sticks. After watching, supporting, cheering, boosting and taking pictures of the seconds we moved on to Ashford to face the mighty mittens. Yes, if it was kittens the lions met last week, this time they were mittens, all nice, small, soft [...]

Reading Uni vs Ramgarhia
Result: 4-3 win
Scorers: Angus(3), Harry
Another top of the table clash and another under strength Reading team, this week’s team against Ramgarhia consisted of 4 mixed hockey players. Ramgarhia have a very distinctive style of play that often pushes (and occasionally exceeds) the physical boundary of the game. When the players left the [...]

One fine Saturday it was, the sun shining, birds chirping, clear blue skies and boys playing with sticks. The Seconds Clan were determined to wallop the league leaders Marlow 2. The game had already begun when I got there, in fact it was soon half time. Koolwant the ball magician is a joy to watch, [...]

Ramgarhia travelled to Bisham Abbey to play Marlow.
The travelling party was larger than usual – and not just because Tandeep was present. In attendence were the legendary Ranbir Girn with family, Plaha and Sachpal.
During the warm up stretches, it was noticed that Bahader, Jas Pattowala and Manj Gahir had all dissapeared into the bushes togther. [...]

After the mid season break, Ramgarhia were looking forward to playing OMT at home.
The match was one of the finest Ramgarhia have played in all season. The forward line of Raja, Bally, Bahader, Nik, Parmi and Cow were expertly rotated by Plaha a.k.a. the Southall Mourinho, and Ramgarhia were irresistable scoring a total of seven [...]

Ramgarhia played newly promoted Harrow at home.
Ramgarhia scored the first goal after a goal mouth scramble, where the Harrow keeper stopped a succession of shots, but Bahadar latched onto the end of a rebound and slotted the ball away from a couple of yards out.
Ramgarhia dominated the rest of the first half creating numerous chances [...]

In one of Ramgarhia’s strongest performances of the season, Ramgarhia started their goals spree, in the first half, through Raja – the rest they said was hstory – for Gerrads Cross anyway.
Bahadar and Parmi beefed up the score sheet with exceptional efforts at goal. Second half goals from Gidiyaan-di-Parmi and Captain Bhangray Da finished off [...]

Ramgarhia ventured up the M4 to play Leighton Buzzard. Ramgarhia adopted their unfamiliar – but very dashing – red and black strip for this match.
The reason for the change of strip being not that Ramgarhia wished to attract Dhammu back to the club, nor that certain players looked slimmer in red, but that Leighton Buzzard [...]

Ramgarhia were looking forward to playing Abingdon. With two of our most senior members not available, it was time for the young guns to show what they could do.
Ramgarhia dominated the first half of the match with the Ramgarhia wingers were playing well, running into space and causing the Abingdon defence all manner of worries. [...]

Following their draw 2-2 draw against Wokingham from the earlier week, Ramgarhia once again failed to capitalise on the chances created. It was clear again that Ramgarhia lacked a potent confident striker upfront and the makeshift strikers did not take the chances presented to them.
Ramgarhia started well and moved the ball confidently amongst the midfield [...]
