Report – Army Medical Services

The day of the match against the army started in the usual fashion, with Shin arriving 2 minutes before the train was about to leave.

Once we got off the train, we all looked towards Shimmings (because of his army links) and Karny (because he’s Karny) to lead the way to pitch.

While Shimmings will argue that he led us to where he was told to go, I think the general consensus was that he ballsed it up and made us walk at least 20 minutes more than we should have had to.

Once we got there, we found there were signs of mass partying (I lie, the army don’t party) and an air of calmness around the army base. Bin Laden had been captured the week before and the army now had nothing to do.

During the warm up, we saw that they had a girl on their team. Shin was quick to realise she had ‘AMS’ on the back of her shirt, and said her name must be ‘Amy’. This was before realising ‘AMS’ stood for Army Medical Services and they all had AMS on their shirt.

Within 5 minutes we were a man down, with Nick Chang (who is yet to pay his subs) supposedly pulling his hamstring. The problem with doing a match report a month later is that you tend to forget what happened during the match. All I remember is that we should have won but ended up losing 1-0.

After some fantastic food, it was decided by drink off that Karny was man of the match and Nick Chang was tosser.

All in all it was a great day and I look forward to playing the AMS next year.

GKT Hockey Club will be taking on the Army Medical Services on Sunday 15th May. Our men’s team will play, followed by a curry and few drinks.

PB is at 2pm and we are getting the 12pm train from Waterloo to Blackwater via Guildford. Please travel changed, bring a white playing top and a shirt and tie for afterwards.

Old rivalries will be rediscovered as two GKT old boys (Kim and Graeme) feel the wrath of our current crop of elite sportsmen.

The annual alumni matches will take place on Saturday 19th March from 12:30pm @ HOP. Come own for a chilled out day – we’ll play some hockey, have some food and drink, a chance to meet some of the Hockey Club’s alumni and to regale tales from the previous evening’s AGM.

Current players will be in navy blue and alumni in white.

The King’s and Lanes side will also be coming down for some mixed games around 3pm.

A fine day out in the hockey calendar.
