Mixed fortunes for Harrogate Hockey Club Men's 1st XI following winter break
Harrogate Hockey Club Men’s 1st XI have not made the best of starts to 2025, losing two of their opening three Yorkshire & North East Premier Division fixtures of the new calendar year.
Beaten 4-2 away at Leeds Adel in their first game back following the winter break, Joe Horne’s team bounced back with a victory by the same score-line at home to City of York last Wednesday evening.
Eddie Crossley bagged a brace in that derby clash, with skipper Horne and Tom Gugan also on target.
But ‘Gate failed to build on that result on Saturday afternoon, suffering a 3-2 home loss against Durham City.
Trailing 3-0 by the 41st minute, goals from Crossley and Charles Edmondson got the hosts back into the contest, however they were unable to complete what would have been an impressive comeback.
Third-placed Harrogate visit Durham University 3s this Saturday afternoon.
