Blackpool’s 2nd team continued to struggle with a 10-2 defeat at home to Liverpool John Moores University’s 1st team. Blackpool lined up with several new faces making their first appearance of the season in the 2nd team and this perhaps resulted in a lack of cohesion early on as LJMU quickly opened up a 2-0 […]
It is fair to say that before the journey had begun the hopes were tingling for Storm Brian to put down sufficient water to save the trip, but that the call never came from the Bay and the bare 11 set off, accompanied by their sole supporter, Phil Neath, who was suitably prepared for an […]
Blackpool Men’s firsts were left kicking themselves after failing to pick up a point at home to Winnington Park. Both sides were under-strength but it was the visitors who made the most of their opportunities racing into a 3-0 lead after 25 minutes, capitalising on Blackpool errors. The home side finally kicked into gear and […]
Blackpool’s 2nd team continued their poor run of form with a 6-0 defeat away to Leyland & Chorley’s 1st team, the third successive match against a team relegated from Division 3N last year. The match however was far more even than the scoreline suggests. There was parity between the teams for the first 15 minutes, until Leyland […]
Blackpool’s 2nd team travelled to Manchester with a full squad but were completely outclassed by Didsbury Northern 4th team who beat them with a fluid passing hockey game 11-0. The Blackpool team was virtually unrecognisable to last year’s 2nd team captain Niall Bancroft who was playing for his new club, given the number of 3rd […]
Blackpool got off the mark in North West Division 1 with a well earnt victory against Bowdon thirds at Stanley Park. Newly appointed captain Ian Swaine had the luxury of a deeper squad than the opening fixture and decided to experiment with a new formation. The opening ten minutes were sloppy by both teams as […]
A much changed Blackpool Men’s first team found it tough going as they went down 7-1 away to Didsbury Northern Men’s seconds in their opening fixture of the season. The home side dominated from the outset and Blackpool found themselves two behind after fifteen minutes both goals coming off the back of well worked penalty […]
Blackpool 2nd team started their season with just 4 players who finished the previous season, due to a lot of player movement in the club over the summer. However due to the 3rd team folding there was a full squad of 15 for the game, and many of last year’s 3rd team players stepped up to playing hockey […]

Two Dave Morgan goals, both from penalty corners earned Blackpool their first point in 2017 with a 2-2 draw away to league leaders Liverpool Sefton. The home side dominated the opening quarter of an hour with their pacey forwards proving a handful for the Blackpool defence. However after a few scares, Blackpool began to play […]
Blackpool 3’s dominated the match against their Leyland & Chorley counterparts, but the first goal was elusive until the final few minutes of the match, much to the relief of the Blackpool players and travelling supporters (parents). From the off, Blackpool were clearly the better team, and 90% of the play was in Leyland’s half […]
It was a familiar story at Stanley Park as Blackpool Men’s firsts couldn’t convert their chances, going down 3-2 to Bowdon thirds. In a fairly open and even first half, both sides had opportunities to take the lead, but it was the visitors who converted first to take a lead into the break. After half […]
