The Women's 1's started their 2006 Slazenger EHL Premier Campaign with a 3-3 draw against Old Loughtonians. Despite being disappointed with only securing 1 point, Ipswich must reflect on the fact that they were missing 4 players from their squad and still had chances to win the game.

Saturday they travel to Bromley and Beckingham to play a team in 6th place and then on Sunday they face local rivals Harleston in the 3rd Round of the Cup.

Whitchurch's 1 point was earned by a 1-1 draw with the university of Birmingham and with Ipswich beating the students 4-1 in their opening league game, hopes are high that the Suffolk side can claim their second win of the season on Sunday.

Men 1's work hard but fail the gym test, while rest of the club hammers in 43 goals!

The Men's 1st worked very hard to contain a talented Indian Gymkhana side but they could not stop the scoring machine that is Tejinder Hanspal, who fired in a hat-trick of goals to secure the points for his team.  The good news for Ipswich is that Kier Dixon has scored in every game so far and is looking in top form.  

Keir Dixon has scored 5 goals in 3 games

Men 1's look to bounce back in the league but they get tasty home draw in Cup

The Men's 1st have a tough task to bounce back from last weeks poor result, as they have to travel to unbeaten Indian Gymkhana. Having beaten them once and lost once last season Ipswich know that the result of this game is finely balanced and a lot could depend on the teams ability to deal with the high scoring Tejinder Hanspal,

The draw for the 3rd round of the Cup saw the Premier league sides join in but Ipswich were handed a home draw against local rivals Harleston. As always games between these two clubs are hotly contested but Ipswich will be looking to use their EHL experience to make the 4th round.

The Men's 2's will also be hoping to bounce back but again have a tough task as they travel to unbeaten Broxbourne.

The Men's 3's are looking for 3 wins out of 3 as they face a North Walsham side that have yet to win and have shipped in 12 goals.

The Men's 4's are also on a hat-trick of wins as they travel to Norwich City to take on their 5th team.

The Men's Vet's have been clattering in the goals and have yet to concede one and will want more of the same as they face Braintree

The Women's 2's face Norwich City at home and after last weeks frustrating draw, goals is the word on everyone's lips.

The Women's 3's league campaign eventually gets going with a tough away game against local rivals IES. These games are always intense affairs and Ipswich will be hoping for a good win. 

The Women's 4's take on Lowestoft 3's looking to carry on their winning opening to the season.

Men 1's go down in flames.

The Men's 1st lost 9-3 to a rampant Firebrands side and will need to re-group quickly as they face another tricky away game at Indian Gymkhana on Sunday.

They now have a home game against Harleston on Oct 22nd.

The Men's 2's lost 5-3 to promotion hopefuls Harleston Magpies and will need to pick themselves up quickly as they face a tricky away game to unbeaten Broxbourne.
