New teams for Napier Hockey event
Defending champions Grossflottbeker GTHC of Hamburg, Germany, have been forced to withdraw from the men’s event due to domestic commitments. Grange Ladies have been replaced by Richard’s Belles.
The event is at Napier University from January 4-6 and Graham Stuart, for the organising committee, said: “Tickets for the event are selling well but we still have availability for all sessions.”
