For a cold winters day - sorry, week!

South Africa is currently in Winter's firm grasp.  With abundant rain in the fairest of all Capes, snow covering parts of the Drakensberg, and an icy chill on the highveld. Added to the looming petrol price hike, there does not seem to be much to celebrate in a cold Johannesburg.

However, Old Ed's caterers have swooped in to rescue all members from such times,  and have once again produced specials that will warm the cockles of all our hearts.

The current offering of the mushroom soup and mutton curry are a delight.

Both are firm favourites of mine, and are most enjoyable.

It is worth braving Johannesburg's traffic to go to  the not  club to have the meals, even if you are not participating in any of the many sporting codes offered at the Society.

Firmly ensconced behind one, or both, of the specials, all your cares simply disappear as you give yourself over to the specials.

Please, though, remember that the 10% member discount does not apply to the specials - the specials are special enough!

Go on, join us - you know you want to...

As a club with such a rich history in hockey, the previous Old Ed’s women’s team were made up of several national and provincial players, the ladies side of 2017 were looking forward to proving their worth.

Under fantastic leadership of the committee, the Old Ed’s ladies side began the season with a 9-0 victory. 

The start was indicative of the season ahead. After finishing second in the league, with only two losses throughout the season, including playoffs, the team was promoted. 

After boasting a squad of sixteen, all of whom added to the tally of seventy six goals scored in eighteen games, we say goodbye to Sam Thorne, the intrepid manager and forward as well as to Natalie Duligal, who was awarded the Most Improved Player of the 2017 season.

Looking to continue Old Ed’s  fine form in hockey in 2018 and as well as spearheading a movement where the club offers places to energetic school girls and seasoned hockey players, we hope to grow the ladies side into a big enough squad where we can host two sides; one competing in the second league and one in the fourth league.
