New Kit

Well, how do we feel about even more new hockey kit?
I think that the hoodies have been quite a success. possibly a bit warm? but they do seem well-made, they look quite smart and were quite well priced. you can see how the addition of an embroidered badge and some words or numbers can increase the cost of an item quite markedly. If you click on the following link to the Mercian clothing http://www.barringtonsports.com/hockey/Category_Mercian_Hockey_Clothing.htm
you can see that the basic price of the hoodie was only £14 50. the embroidery was £3.50 , letters for names were 50p each, if the numbers were about £3.
All this together means that when we're choosing new clothing for team kit if we start with the basic price of a desirable piece of clothing in a range where we would ordinarily be happy to pay an amount of money, we have to remember that all these extras to increase the price somewhat.
so if we were to look at a further training top such as http://www.barringtonsports.com/hockey/Product_Kookaburra_International_Training_Top.htm
then the price would probably come in around £35.
this week's hockey match we will be playing Liskeard. I noticed that last weekend they drew with Tavistock, which perhaps doesn't bode well for our hoped-for success against them. I remember when we played against them last their new coach was big on set piece plays. So if we can concentrate on a good penalty corner defence that would be a good start.
