WELCOME FROM NICK PINK, ENGLAND HOCKEY We are delighted to welcome participating teams to our Club Championships weekend featuring the Over 60s Finals.

In the Tier 1 Championships, Warwickshire & Worcestershire arrive as three-times reigning champions with their eyes on a fourth title in a row.

They face Surrey, who were the last team to win the Over 60s Championships prior to this period of dominance for the Midlanders, and themselves featured in four finals between 2013 and 2018.

In the Over 60s Tier 2 Championships, Bowdon HC and Suffolk Anglia both arrive in Nottingham having never contested a title at this age group, so whoever wins this battle, there will be a new name etched onto the Tier 2 trophy.

The Masters game is important to England Hockey and we have recenlty embarked upon a consultation with our clubs to improve our offering of competitions. If your club hasn’t had its say yet, make sure you fill out the form at https://forms. office.com/e/zenCxi4hy1 before the 22 April.

You will see our Pro League matches advertised elsewhere in the programme. With tickets now on general sale, it would be great to see you enjoying our excellent international event experience at Lee Valley in June.
