In 2024 London Hockey is looking to field up to 17 full Masters age group representative squads from men’s O35-75 and women’s O35-65, plus a women’s O70 7 a-side squad.
Each year all age group squads will compete in an England Hockey Area Tournament in May/June. These tournaments are now in their third year and are hosted by different Areas of the country. They are fun, popular and competitive. In 2023 nearly 2,000 payers participated!
This year London will be hosting three tournaments – WO50, MO55 and MO65.
