Jolly hockey sticks at Tregib
Dozens of youngsters at Tregib school in Carmarthenshire have taken up hockey through a new after school club.
'Clwb Hoci Teigrod Tywi' was made official in September through the support of parents and the county council’s Sports Development team.
Players of the school’s 5X60 club, a Welsh Assembly Government initiative which encourages children to play sport for five hours per week, wanted to progress into playing in a competitive league environment.
The after school club was set up to help them train, and since being established has seen a tremendous growth in membership.
There are now over 50 members in the under-15, under-13 and under-11 age groups.
New members are being sought for the under-11 category, and for boys at under-13.
Training costs £2 per session and takes place on Thursdays from 5pm – 6pm for boys; and from 6pm – 7pm for girls.
The first practice back after the Christmas break will be Thursday January 7.
Carmarthenshire County Council executive board member for leisure said: “The club provides an excellent opportunity for youngsters and is going from strength to strength.
“I would encourage more young people to take advantage of this facility.”
The kit for the under-15s team is sponsored by the Royal Air Force and for the under-13s by The Works in Llandeilo.
