Action-packed Masters tournament to hit UWA Superturf

Teams from the WA men's and women's Masters cohort will go head-to-head this Saturday and Sunday at the UWA Superturf against the WA Country Masters teams in a high-quality round-robin hockey tournament, exposing our Masters legends to more game time in lieu of the cancelled National Masters Championships.

Games start at 11:15am on Saturday and 9:30am on Sunday, with the day sure to be action-packed with hockey fun for all!

With such a tournament held last year, there's hope from the Masters cohort that this tradition will continue, exposing our Masters players to high-level hockey in a warm-up format before the head off to the National Masters Tournaments in years to come.

Hockey WA President Michael Henderson and former-Vic President Peter Westlund are amongst the names competing on the day, showcasing that hockey is a lifelong sport for all, with many players over the age of 70 continuing their love and passion for the game through the Masters hockey format.

A dinner will follow the tournament on the Saturday night, with approximately 170 people in attendance.

The tournament includes 11 teams, 6 from WA and 5 from WA Country Masters, with players aged 55 to 75 competing on the day. All teams will play each other in their age group twice.

WA 55, 65, 70, & 75 will play against the same WA Country aged teams on both the Saturday and the Sunday. WA 60/1, WA 60/2 and WA Country 60 will play each other both days, with shorter playing times.

A similar set of two matches will be held at the same venue between composite teams for the Over 50s Women's State Masters players.
