Masters Championships

The beauty of hockey is that anyone can play and our Masters Championships provide a great platform for senior players to come together in their age groups and renew old friendships and rivalries.

There are three age groups in each gender, and each will have two straight knockout competitions running through the season – the Tier 1 Championships and a Tier 2 Plate. 

In the Men’s these will be Over 40s (MO40), Over 50s (MO50) and Over 60s (MO60).

The Women’s categories are Over 35s (WO35), Over 45s (WO45) and Over 55s (WO55).

All teams will enter at Tier 1. The Tier 2 Championships will be a Plate competition for teams that lose in the early rounds of Tier 1. This format means that everyone gets the same opportunity of progressing to the latter stages and the competition pool should be large and competitive.
