If we don’t have the exact size we can get it at fairly short notice

 

 

I have a few different models which will fit most people,  cost £25-30

 

Plastic bats designed by one of the top international players, cost between £22 and £40, there are a variety of designs in the club box for you to try.

 

If you need a replacement set,  these are £14 for a pair (one blue, one white)

 

At present there is only one manufacturer producing gloves and these cost £37. I would have to order these in for you.  Barrie is working on making gloves for the club,  currently in advanced testing stage by a number of members.

 

 

We have excellent snorkels available with valves for suitable for juniors, and can be fitted with external mouthguards. Cost £15.50 (£19 with mouthguard fitted)

I would only suggest buying fins if your feet have stopped growing.

There are a lot of fins in shops which are unsuitable for Hockey , either because they have sharp edges(dangerous) or are just too small and floppy(no power) I do have some available for sale covering most sizes.  Costs between £30 and £40

 

£4 per pair
