England hockey are formalising two new competitions for the 2013/14 season. If anyone is interested in forming a ‘County’ team for either, please contact me ASAP at gareth@nottshockey.org.uk
Entry forms can be found HERE
MEN’S OVER 60’S CUP
Profile: A new competition for 2013/14
Format: Each competition is played on a straight knockout basis. Teams who enter the Cup and lose in the first round will be entered into the Trophy, guaranteeing two matches.
Cup Entry Criteria: Very few clubs can field a team of players over 60. Entry is based on “County” teams. Eligibility to play for a team is based on playing for a club in that county or living in the county. More than one team may enter from a county, or two counties may merge to form one team. Team contacts will need to show authority (please send with your entry form) from the relevant county to play under their name. Players must be 60 or over on 1st September 2013.
Finals’ Day Sunday 4 May 2014
