Masters' O60s Non-Club Based comp

••• Update for January 2019 •••

Things are looking good for the formation of the NCB (short for Brisbane Grand Masters Non-Club Based Over 60s Hockey Competition) with 20 PLAYERS committed and two others available part-time – to date!
  If you haven't yet made your COMMITMENT please do so URGENTLY 
(either affirmative or negative answer is required).  
NCB is designed to allow players aged 60 and older (turn 60 by 31st Dec 2019) to play in a competitive environment against similar aged players in a competition that has “balanced” teams. You don't need to be associated with a club to play. Anyone can join from any area. 
Without wanting to decimate the BHA Masters’ Tuesday night competition, nor the Thursday arvo “Social Hockey”, the options of field hire and player availability are very limiting.
This results in – Sunday Nights from 6:05pm at Easts Hockey Tiger Turf, at Carina.
