PLAYERS donned Santa hats on Saturday as Wisbech Hockey Club held an impromptu festive friendly.

The sides, captained by Dom Stannard and Sam Dunn, didn’t disappoint fans who braved the cold - playing out a thrilling 6-6 draw.
Second team striker Gary Freear said: “It was a bit of a spur of the moment game but it was a lot of fun.
