Hockey at Strawberries

Hockey Love

 Strawberries is a well established tournament that caters for Men’s and Women’s 11-a-side teams. It is also possible to enter Mixed teams in the Men’s tournament. There are two days of hockey on offer: Saturday and Sunday hosts the group stages followed by playoffs from approximately 10:00 until 17:00. Hockey is social, friendly and played in the true touring spirit.....expect up to 30 teams to be involved and fancy dress on the pitch! The 3 hockey pitches at the venue include two sand based Astroturfs and one grass pitch.

 Entrants can expect to play approximately five to six group games through the weekend with additional fixtures on Sunday for those who make the playoffs. To help assist with officiating teams are required to volunteer members to umpire when necessary by a pre-determined rota. Fixtures and results are displayed throughout the day at the centralised hockey administration headquarters which can be found upstairs in the club house, so teams can keep up to date on their personal and opponents’ progress in between games.
