Last Saturday 25.02.23 was Club Umpiring Day (CUD) for THD!

This is part of a new initiative by London Hockey to hold a club umpire assessment day with a group watching the top Men's and Ladies' matches (and their appointed, neutral umpires) and then carrying out assessments and coaching on the other club matches that day. Tulse Hill & Dulwich HC volunteered for this very first CUD held. 

Alison Taplin and Carla Bennett both passed their Level 1 Hockey Umpiring Assessments on Saturday with flying colours and brought the day's schedule to a successful close under lights on the Alleyn’s Astro! It was a really competitive incident packed match that ended Tulse Hill & Dulwich M3s 3 - London Academicals M2 6.
