The Atherstone Adders Hockey Men’s 1st XI are gearing up for an electrifying showdown as they prepare to take on Ipswich & East Suffolk on Sunday, March 2nd. The highly anticipated match will take place at the Queen Elizabeth Academy Astro Pitch in Atherstone, promising an afternoon of top-tier hockey action.

The Adders have shown resilience throughout the season, bouncing back after their early exit from the EH Men’s Tier 3 KO Championships at the hands of Leicester 1 in October. However, they have since proved their mettle by successfully defending their EH Men’s Tier 3 KO Championships – Plate title with victories over Melton 1s and the University of Leeds 1 in January and February 2025, respectively.

This weekend’s clash promises to be an intense battle, as Ipswich & East Suffolk bring a formidable track record to the pitch. Back in October, Ipswich & East Suffolk 1 drew against East London M2s before securing victories over Burnt Ash (Bexley) 2 and Berkswell & Balsall Common 1. Their strong performances have earned them a spot in this crucial Cup game against the Adders.

With both teams eager to claim victory and continue their journey in the competition, fans can expect a thrilling contest filled with skill, strategy, and determination. Hockey enthusiasts and local supporters are encouraged to come down to the Queen Elizabeth Academy Astro Pitch to cheer on the Adders in what promises to be an action-packed encounter.
