Wisbech Town Hockey Club got back into the groove following a lengthy lay-off.
The club held a ‘back to play’ day at their Harecroft Road home on Saturday, September 5, where junior and senior teams played in an in-house tournament.
In the morning, the juniors were in action while the ladies’ teams did battle against one another.
The men’s team also got involved with the ladies’ 1sts against a strong men’s veterans side, where the men ran out comfortable winners.
A fun-filled day was wrapped up when the men’s 3rds and 4ths faced each other.
A club spokesperson said: “It was brilliant to see everyone playing once again. All current Covid guidelines were in place and adhered to throughout the day’s activities and thanks go to all involved.”
