DYSYNNI Hockey Club were busy over the so-called ‘off-season’ entering two teams into a Mixed 7s tournament hosted by Denbigh. One of the Dysynni teams came away as overall winners.

They won two friendlies at the end of August, 6-3 against a travelling side from Wrexham with Dafs Jones (2), brothers Ruadhan and Conor O’ Regan, Charlie Severn and Ryan Goddard scoring.
