Posted by Nobody on 22 May 2016

 

Having been shortlisted for the Team of the Year along with Boots M1's, Wapping M1's and Richmond M1's the Tavisock Men's first team travelled to Reading for the England Hockey awards ceremony.  Former Great Britain keeper Simon Mason hosted the evening and announced that Tavistock were the winners of this years award. Being shorlisted was a fantastic achievement but to win the award is a fitting end to what has been a remarkable season for the men, the trophy was presented by Surbiton and GB player Sarah Haycroft. All four teams achievanble considerable success during the season: Boots, won their league comfortably by 12 points, also reached semi final of the HA VASE losing to the eventual winners: Wapping,  won East Premier 1 and have been promoted the  National league for the first time in the clubs History - they play their games at the Olympic Park in Lee valley, London: Richmond, coached by former South African international Gareth Carr, they won the National League East Conference therefore reaching the play offs, they unfortunately missed out on promotion to the premier League via the play offs so will remain in the East Conference meaning they are still one of the top 40 teams in the country.
 With a number of the England ladies in attendance at the event the Tavistock players were joined on their tables by international stars Susie Gilbert and Devon born Giselle Ansley. 

The teams stats this season which saw them nominated and ultimately crowned team of the year can be seen below.

Player Coach Simon Fenwick said  "its a great achievement for the club to be recognised on the national stage thanks to the success of the Men's first team, all the shortlisted teams had a fantastic year so its even more special to win the award. It's great for our lads to have their effort and committment rewarded and we are all looking forward to maintaining our high standards next season".

The team are full of appreciation for the Club Directors and Committee who have supported the team this season as they competed in 3 competitions, they would also like to thank Trewithen Dairy and Limagrain UK Ltd for supporting them and ensuring the squad were able to travel and attend the event.

The team are looking forward to next season following their two successive promotions which will now see them competing in Conference South.
