Hello and welcome to the LastMinute Crusader's website!

We are a team of social deviants who love to go on tour and create some carnage! Our players come from a number of varying clubs around the country (well just surrey at the moment, sshh) such as the immensley popular and social Surbiton Hockey Club.

The LastMinute Crusaders HC was founded by Paul Reeves and Ali Hitch who were trying to enter a team to the Shagfest Tournament (held yearly at Surbiton HC every last weekend of June) in 2006 but originally failed because of the sheer lack of any orgnaisation or effort.

However! in the early morning during first day of matches, Paul and some other Surbiton members rallied together to phone everybody and anybody in their address books that could possibly play, while Ali went driving around to a few friends houses trying to recruit.

So successful was this recruitment campaign that a whole team of 11 players (plus a few subs nicked from other teams over the course of the day) was available before lunch time that very day and so from thereon in, this team was coined 'Last Minute'.

To this date the LastMinute Crusaders are unbeaten in open play having only lost matches through penalty flick contests and love to play 'total hockey'.
