Ramgarhia Hockey Club

The usual, sun shining, birds chirping, mums breastfeeding kids and lads out with their sticks. Saturday the 4th of April was our final season game with a very good turnout. Even Fat Boy Slim Tandeep brought his twisty backside out of retirement for a final shout out at the refs…and to play some little hockey. [...]

Yes, Yes, I know, we’ve come to the end of the season with sad hearts, at least for most of us, as we all looked forward to a tightly fought game each weekend for the last few months. The season had all its ups and downs as we flowed with it. This is my final [...]

Another beautiful day, apart from some light showers, the birds chirping, blue skies, and lads preparing for Hockey. A great majority of the players arrived early, in time for a chat or tete-a-tete( haanji , ahavi angreji boli yaa!!). In the changing room , Koach gave his speech to an attentive team. And yes, he [...]

In the spirit of the recent fuss aka ‘Much Ado about Nothing’ by William Shakespear (or Willy Tingiza-mishale) regarding non acceptance of emails and in fairness to a global equality, here’s the seconds Match report, based on my lack of presence ( done in simplicity and humour Kraptain Indey!!??!)
The game started. It was a [...]

Habari Guys!!!!
After the hassles of the week and emails flying out endlessly what a way to cap it up than a game of Hockey?? Yet again Top Dog managed to scramble a team. Good old faithful right half was scouting in Africa, although someone similar was spotted sitting outside the fence on his car bonnet. [...]

I had a late night call on saturday with some shocking news that kept me awake for a long while. And of course yesterday was avsos of Bhenji Jade Gudi which didn’t improve the weekend much, not to mention the beadbi of the Saroops of Guru Maharaj in Bow on the 16th March. The Angita [...]

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. [...]
