With the transfer window just about to close on Monday, a last minute-ish transfer is Tommy Alexander returning to Indian Gymkhana, who he was playing for last season. Helping HWHC 2's to a dominant first place in the London Premier League and playing for the 1st team in the cup rounds, Tommy is obviously itching to take over as a first choice and push to stake his claim for a spot for the long term, as one of the more ambitious high level goalies knocking around the national league. Tommy helped the Gym to a good finish last season after joining midway from Surbiton, where he was second choice behind the now-emergent David Kettle. Indian Gymkhana are second place behind Bath right now, and with Cardiff dropping off from the pack, a good run of form could really make things happen. So not only can Tommy regain a national league spot, but also have the chance to help them to promotion, killing two birds in one stone as they say, by aiding his ambition to play in the Premier league and pushing the Middlesex side up the divisions potentially (if all goes to plan!).

Indian Gym sticking with Qas Mir
With Tommy Alexander having made the move across to Hampstead to push Scanlon for the number one shirt after getting some playing time with the Middlesex side last season (after the Christmas break), the 'Gym' are back with Qas Mir in between the sticks. Having played as first choice since their promotion into the national league from the South Prem, he has been a steady presence for them for some time, coming into peak in age and maturity as a goalkeeper now, which will bode well for Indian Gym as they push up the table looking for that elusive promotion into the Premier league. I *think* it also appears that they have youngster Theo Dowse as their new second choice, with Amir Bahia having made the switch to Richmond, offering some depth and youth for the future.

Bahia switches to Richmond
Very late on this one, but looks like Indian Gym's Bahia has made the move to Richmond (not far down the road travel wise I guess!). Given the move of Richmond's second choice to Reading, and Richmond picking up Jamie Legg from the Berkshire side, Richmond needed to bring in cover or bump up one of their club goalkeepers to assist with their first eleven. Not exactly groundbreaking coverage, but all the same shows the moves between teams at national league level, much like you'd get in football or ice hockey transfers with more career back-up guys around for support.
You can see him in action for his new team here (can't seem to merge the Youtube link), where he seems to play a very "old school" stance and approach which is a little odd for this level at the Prem league of the London divisions:
