PENNINE POLOCROSSE CLUB –
In The Beginning…
The club was founded in early 1996, so this coming season - 2005 will
be our tenth, and we’ve enjoyed great success since we first began, especially
with our junior and primary junior teams throughout the years.
There were approximately 27 members to start with. Many have since
left the club and some have stopped playing polocrosse altogether but they are constantly being replaced with "new blood".
ORIGINAL
IDEAS FOR OUR NAME
Many names were put forward for the new club before we chose to be known as
Pennine.
Here are some of the examples...
Holme Valley
White Rose
Pennine (yey!)
North Star
Northern Stars
Yorkshire Terriers (!!!!)
Scorpions
Harlequin
North East
Raiders
Yorkshire Greys
ORIGINAL
IDEAS FOR OUR COLOURS
If you thought some of those names were bad, here are what colours we could
have been wearing...
Navy/white (yey!)
Grey/black
Green/Orange
Navy/light blue
Light blue/claret
Black/burgundy
In the end we opted for the navy shirts with white collars, numbers and logo
that we play in today.
That’s about it for Pennine’s short history and what could have
been. We hope this was a good trip down memory lane for some of you and an
interesting, informative read for the rest of you!!
