Men's O70

Calling all goalkeepers, or aspiring goalkeepers!

The Midlands Mens Masters over 70s squad this year finds itself in the unusual position of not having a goalkeeper in their age group to play in the Area tournament in the summer. 

If you are interested in playing for us as a goalkeeper or know of anyone who might then please contact the Mens O70s lead at https://shorturl.at/qavPK to discuss – we would be eternally grateful! 

If you used to play in goal but no longer do so then we would also be keen to hear from you, the request isn’t just open to current active players. The only requirements are that you must be 70 at some time this year, and either affiliated to a club that plays in the Midlands league, or if you don’t currently play club hockey then you must live in the Midlands area. 

The area tournament this year is on the weekend of the 7th and 8th June, in Guildford.
