The State Championships for the O35s will be held in Maryborough on 1st & 2nd June 2019.
Your help is required to inform any players (who may be playing only in BHL games on the weekend) and who are eligible to nominate for the O35s to register their interest by joining the database.
Here is the LINK. 
Nominations for selection to represent Brisbane at the State Titles in the O35s are yet to have a closing date finalised. Players must be at least 35 years old by 31/12/2019.

The O60s State Selection Carnival concluded on Sunday arvo (7th April) with a record number of players and partners attending.
There were 120 players (and 30 partners who attended the dinners). The Qld Teams were announced following the presentation ceremony. Head over to the Qld Masters Hockey website to see the teams (once they've been uploaded). The teams are for O60s; O65s; O70s; & O75s.
The Special Award Winners are ...  The Geoff (Doc) Turner memorial award for Best & Fairest in Tournament was won by Keith Chay. 
The player with the "Most Potential" was awarded to Bruce (Buck) McBryde ... who incidentally is celebrating his 70th year of PLAYING HOCKEY without a break. Buck said "his best year was in 1964 when playing for University with three Olympians and they won the premiership. And Buck has outlasted them all. 
As one TV commentator famously said .. "Marvellous effort that!"  
The award for the "most Knowledgable Player" (of the Rules) was Gil (Rabbitt) Puckering from Mackay who this year was a "minkey" in the carnival, on of 11 players who debuted.
NOTE: The carnival next year will be held in Cairns on the last weekend of May.
The Hervey Bay Hockey Assn have over the past three years done a fantastic job with their preparation and presentation for the O60s+ Selection Carnival for the Masters Hockey and sadly, due to the increasing size of the group, the need has arisen for two fields to cater to the number players attending. Hence the move to Cairns for one year. This also acknowledges the mighty effort of those players from Townsville and Cairns who each year travel to the south east corner to play rep hockey. 

The next Brisbane Masters' Sub-Committee meeting will be held at the State Hockey Centre on Monday 15th April at 7pm. All welcome to attend.
+++++++

Qld Uni management have respectfully asked all Masters players NOT to access the playing surface until 6:55pm.
Umpires and Tech Bench officials are allowed to access the field prior to 6:55pm.
+++++++

Held at Easts Tiger Turf field at Carina every Thursday from 3:00-4:30pm. Cost is $8.
Numbers are increasing and the event is proving to be very popular. No commitment is required, just turn up! All welcome to attend.
Drinks follow upstairs in the old bowls club where a good feed can be had (or take away) from the fabulous Pancho's Pizza & Pasta, washed down with some cold ales.
Please bring a plain white and a plain black or very dark shirt).
🚀 This means no split-coloured jerseys that have a mixture of white and another colour! Likewise, light grey coloured shirts are neither White nor Black and are not suitable. 🚀
