After initially approaching local clubs for an opposition for our proposed u18’s mixed hockey team, we received such a great response that we thought we would organise a tournament so we could play everyone and make a real day of it!!
The tournament will take place on Sunday 19th March 2017, with the first push back being at 11:00am. We are hoping to attract a minimum of 8 teams to the event and will host a minimum of 4 x 20 minute games for each team. (The full fixture schedule will be published closer to the event)
Location: Bedford Hockey Club, Chester Road, Queens Park, Bedford MK40 4HL where we have a double astro, changing rooms as well as somewhere to buy tea, coffee and snacks.
The tournament is mixed (11 a-side) competition with teams to comprise of 5 outfield girls, 5 outfield boys and a goalie (plus subs). Bedford will provide umpires for the tournament and there will be prize for winners. It should be a really nice send off for those in the upper 6th leaving for university with the timing set so that it doesn’t impact on exams.
The cost to enter is £100 per team (with cheques made payable to Bedford Hockey Club or you can make a BACS payment). Please email BHC Fixtures Secretary Abi Norris norrisabigail@hotmail.co.uk or call on 07881587504 if you would like to enter a team (or two).
NB- If you have some initial interest from players but not a full team, please also inform us as we may be able to group you together with another team. We look forward to a fantastic day of hockey. www.bedfordhockeyclub.com
