U16/U18 GIRLS & BOYS CLUB
DERBY ARENA • 11-12 JANUARY 2025
We are delighted to start 2025 with the finals of Super 6s Junior Clubs Championships.
We congratulate the teams who have made it through the eight Area competitions to reach the finals and hope that they enjoy the experience of playing in a tournament with their peers from around the country.
Our thanks go to all the team officials who have dedicated a lot of time to the development of each team. We know that their commitment is very much appreciated by the players and parents.
Thanks also go to the umpires and officials who give their time freely to run the tournaments in a structured and fair manner.
Finally we thank the staff at Derby Arena for their assistance and for making their facilities available to use for this tournament.
We were delighted to host our Super 6s finals here in 2024 and look forward to returning in a fortnight’s time. We hope we might see you there or for Pro League games in June at Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre.
