Hull…
 
What can we say about Hull?
 
Well, for a kick off its a coastal town at the mouth of humber.  It is home to Kingston Kayak club, Hull Mariners and was birth place of trevor macdonald (I think!).  But that’s about it! Read more

Nicky Cresser’s not one for screaming from the rooftops, but we managed to squeeze this out of him when we found out he’d make the England team!

“I’m on the England team in C1 and have raced at Grandtully in the Pan-Celtic cup. I finished 8th, right up there with the prem guys which isn’t bad for a bit of a novice, guess. I managed a strong performance at the first selection weekend, dominating the fitness tests and having good presence on the pitch during the games sessions, I was named in the line up for the men’s senior A-team for the first major international of the season in Charleroi (Belgium). The team gelled after an uncertain start with a few significant changes in personel, and finished in 4th place in a very strong field. With this strong performance behind me I have been named in the line-up for Essen in Germany, after which the lineup will be finalised for the European Championships in August.”

Watch this space…

Sunday 30th November and coach Katie Sweeting takes the Tees Tiger youth team for their
first ever match….. Although they all compete in canoe slalom, they’d never played as a team
before and any practise was down to a few sessions at the training venue at Stockton….

“Just wanted to say a big well done to the kids who competed today in Pontefract, with only a
4-0 loss to an experienced Kingston side followed by a 2-2 draw agianst FOA and narrowly
losing 3-2 to green star after a disallowed goal, then to go on and once again draw 2-2 with an
older scratch team is more than impressive for a first ever competition for you guys.”
And many thanks to the organisers who ran such a tight schedule, even managing to fit in some
extra mixed team matches at the end for fun. The next match is again at Pontefract at the end
of January, now they’ve got a taste for it, they promise to learn more of the rules for next time!
