'What we've done here has really helped secure the future of a great sport'

Jersey Hockey's new clubhouse at Les Quennevais will be officially opened on Friday night.

The project has taken four years to come to fruition and cost close to £1m, the vast majority of which has been raised by club members.

It has been built onto the back of the existing seating and features four changing rooms, a bar and function room and a large balcony overlooking the playing area.

The club also plans to construct a new training pitch at the sports centre end.

The new facility will be officially opened by former England player Beckie Middleton ahead of a series of matches across the weekend.
