The England Hockey Premier League returned to action on Saturday September 16th with East Grinstead Women hosting recently promoted Bowdon and East Grinstead Men hosting local rivals Oxted. The club made an event of it and we welcomed well over 500 spectators throughout the afternoon.
Thankyou to FUTURE AUDIO for sponsoring the opening Womens game and to CHARLES MILLS CONSTRUCTION for sponsoring the opening Mens game.
EG Women lost their season opener against Bowdon 1:2, with Liv Breed scoring East Grinstead's consolation goal. However a number of players made their Premier League debut on Saturday: Connie Pennington, Esther Adcock, Talya Harvey, Biba Mills, Summer Knight-Thompson and Charlotte Watkins.

EG Men also missed the mark, losing 2:3 to Oxted in a match which concluded with more than its fair share of physicality. At one point two Oxted players were sidelined with Yellow Cards and one East Grinstead with a Yellow. Debut players for East Grinstead included: Max Lowery, Josh Gravestock, Sam Knight, Isaac Farrant, Archie Phillips, Kent Sheard and James Smith. Matt Blood made his return to EG having completed his studies at Nottingham alongside Farrant, Gravestock and Phillips. EG's goals were scored by Isaac Farrant and Archie Phillips both on their EG debuts.
