Louth Hockey Club marked the end of a successful campaign with its annual end-of-season awards nights.

Dozens of members, young and old, attended the awards at the London Road Pavilion, which was followed by a ceilidh.

The ladies’ first team were celebrating a title win in Yorkshire Hockey Division Four South, while the men’s first team were only a few points off being promoted from East Hockey Division 5NW.

The men’s and ladies’ second teams could look back on strong league finishes in their divisions, allowing some of the younger and more inexperienced players to develop.

The junior section saw player numbers increase towards the end of the season and the club looks forward to seeing them all return next season.

This week the club will begin Friday night hockey sessions for all abilities, aged 13 and up, from 7pm to 8pm at the London Road pitch. All are welcome.
