RYE – Field Hockey New York

I needed a little break in order to comment objectively on the end of the 2009/2010 season for Rye. Too fresh was the disappointment after the playoff final lost to Greenwich FHC (0-2) on June 20, which followed the loss to the same opponent in the last league game at the beginning of June (0-1). [...]

Rye FHC – GFHC II 9:0 Rye ended their 16 year wait for a title by wrapping up the 2009/10 NEFHA championship with a 9-0 victory over Greenwich II in their penultimate league game. It has been a long wait for the core of the team who got their first taste of NEFHA success with [...]

Rye 1 came into the return leg of the tie against Westchester full of confidence they could continue on their winning form. Having defeated Westchester 7 to 0 in the first leg, Rye aimed to better the score. Westchester, with the addition of some new players, had other plans. Rye worked hard to break through [...]

Rye had an enjoyable and successful day out at the 2nd annual Drew University 7-a-side Tournament. With just four teams competing, the tournament followed a round robin format with each side playing each other twice. Rye got off to a sloppy start in its first game against a Tristate team playing a man short. Rye [...]

Rye FHC continued their unbeaten run after putting away Rye II in their second and final meeting this season. After the Rye II defense frustrated their opposition for the first 15 mins, the floodgates soon opened. A quick hat-trick from Cheetham was followed by goals from Sandhu, Stutz and Tabassam giving Rye FHC a commanding [...]

On a cold and grey Spring morning, Rye 1 gathered on the newest addition pitch to the NEFHA portfolio, Drew University, to again face last year’s final opponent, Tristate. Rye welcomed back long serving players Aico van Nunen and Milan Tyburec, confident with these reinforcements that they could put together a win. In the knowledge [...]

There was no time for un-dusting the outdoor sticks and shake off that winter blues. On this beautiful spring day Rye I had to open the 2nd half of the season right away with a crucial match-up against the ever improving NYC Fieldhockey Club. Still unbeaten this season Rye was the favorite, but NYC seems [...]

Rye brought their 2009/2010 indoor season to a close at the National Invitational Tournament in PA last weekend. The inaugural event played in a magnificent purpose built indoor facility provided a fantastic weekend. Rye started well, winning all 3 games on Day 1 to secure a final berth regardless of the result in their final [...]

Rye came up a little short in the final Big Apple indoor tournament to be played in New York City before the event is combined with the national championship at a purpose build venue in PA next year. Playing in a strong group including defending champions Toronto Lions, Toronto Titans, Boston and New York Islanders, [...]

The Monday following the superbowl always leaves people feeling a little worse for wear. Rye’s indoor players will be feeling rather more tired and hungover than most after a couple of nights on the town in Boston and 5 games of indoor hockey. The tournament, hosted by the Boston Minutemen at MIT in Cambridge MA, [...]
