“MENDIP MAGIC AS THE MALLET FALLS ON SHEPTON” On a fine autumnal afternoon we witnessed a superb Ladies hockey match between two very good teams. The game got underway and Mendip had the better of the early exchanges and played their hockey in Shepton’s half,  pinning them in on every occasion. It was this pressure […]

Mendip battled hard against an experienced Cheddar side, but ultimately found themselves on the end of a heavy defeat. Goalkeeper Oenone Bodman-Harris won the player of the match accolade for an awesome display between the sticks. 

Knowing that their opposition were not able to put out a full squad for this match perhaps lulled Mendip into a false sense of security before the off. It was the visitors who applied the early pressure and much to Mendip’s surprise, opened the scoring. This was the wake-up call the home team needed as […]

Table topping Somerset Gryphons were made to work hard for their victory in this match and for much of the first half Mendip seemed the better side.

From the start the sides seemed well matched but gradually Mendip got into their stride to pile on […]

Mendip knew to expect a tough encounter as on previous occasions, victories against Cheddar have been few and far between. The home team struggled to find their form,allowing the visitors time and space to play their game. Cheddar stamped their authority on the match and by half time had a tally of 4 goals. When […]

Mendip’s first league match of the season was against a Bristol side who had been demoted into Brunel 1 so they knew it would prove to be a tough encounter. A rousing team talk and robust warm up by Captain Jackie Browning ensured her team were up for the challenge from the start. It became […]
