Men's Vets
Ralph Darvill Member profile

Captain : Ralph Darvill

Shirt number 30.

32nd season playing for Stags. Currently Mens Club Captain. Previously captain of the 2nd XI, 3rd XI and 4A XI.

Current additional duties are: Club Archivist, Press Secretary, Photographer, Chief Ranter etc

If I'm not at the hockey pitch, I'll be walking the dog*, or I might be watching birds in some far flung outpost with Wilco as the theme music. Or (more likely) I'll be in the Nascot Arms talking C**p

*Rogue, the dog, is especially good at finding balls; between the end of the 2008-09 season and the start of the current one she has found over 40 in the undegrowth around the astro. She is for hire to other clubs who wish to recoup all their lost balls

Has had a significant impact at the club since rising from the ashes of Kodak HC. Just be sure to keep him away from the Jose Cuervo (or indeed ANY tequila of ANY kind)!

Moving gracefully down the club, from splendid 1st XI service as "left donkey" (on grass) to midfield maestro (on astro) with the 4th XI.
Ian Webster Member profile Ian Webster
Coach extraordinaire. Knows about goalkeeping, plants, welding, precious metals- and just how dull Jabba can be on the subject of tactics...
