Dimboola Turf
Dimboola Hockey Club is holding a round robin tournament on the 26th of Febuary. This will be a chance for all the clubs from the WHA to come out and try the new turf and get a good look at the facilities. There will an UNDER 16 competition, Womens and Mens. The teams will be consist of 8 players a side with a maximum of 4 subs. If numbers are short in mens or womens, junoirs are permitted to play. Teams are to be made out of players from individual clubs.We will need to have umpires so each club if possible should bring two umpires.
Each teams' fee is $15, which is roughly $1.50 a player. We will be running a canteen on the day, the funds from the canteen will go towards the player fees for the use of pitch during the year. Since the canteen will be run for the WHA, I am asking if clubs could please bring people who would be willing to help out in the canteen throughout the day.
Annie Anderson will be there for the day. She will have all the new 2012 season stock in her van.
So if you could please spread this around your clubs and enter teams by the 20th Feb at the latest and send me names of helpers for canteen and also how many umpires your clubs are able to bring.
