January 2023 Hockey Archive

Welcome to the January 2023 archive of Grantham Hockey Central. If you’re looking for a quick recap of what happened on the field, off the field and in the community during the first month of the year, you’re in the right place. We’ve gathered the key stories, match results and training tips that mattered to our fans and players.

What the Scores Said

The new year kicked off with a busy schedule for local clubs. Grantham’s senior men’s team opened the season with a narrow win against Lincoln, 2‑1, thanks to a late penalty corner. The women’s side bounced back from a tough loss in December by beating Scunthorpe 3‑2 in a thrilling comeback. Both matches drew big crowds, and the post‑match interviews highlighted the squad’s focus on fitness and teamwork.Beyond the local league, we followed the national circuit. The Women’s Super League saw a surprise upset when a mid‑table side clinched a 4‑3 victory over a top‑ranked club. That game sparked a lot of discussion on tactics, and we broke down the key moments in a detailed post that fans loved.

News, Events and Tips

January wasn’t just about scores. We covered the launch of the new indoor training facility at Grantham Sports Centre. The facility offers all‑weather practice, and our coaches shared three drills that help improve stick handling under pressure. Those drills are still useful for anyone looking to sharpen their skills, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player.

We also highlighted the community’s fundraising drive for new equipment. The campaign raised over £2,000, enough to buy a set of new sticks for the junior squads. The story showcased how the local hockey family pulls together, and it inspired several readers to volunteer at upcoming events.

Finally, our “Tip of the Month” column gave readers a simple exercise to boost core strength – a key factor in maintaining balance during fast breaks. The exercise takes just five minutes a day and can be done at home, making it easy for busy fans to stay fit.

Even though the archive page currently shows no individual posts, the topics above represent the type of content we delivered in January 2023.
