Hockey men beaten in opener

Fielding a depleted side and with several injury problems they were far from full strength

against a powerful-looking visiting side, who claimed a 3-2 win.

Now Rotherham will look to get points on the board tomorrow at newly formed Lindum Hockey Club in Lincoln.

Rotherham Ladies will also look to get the ball rolling tomorrow when they meet Slazengers in North Two South East after last week’s 2-0 opening day defeat to Sheffield Bankers.
