Over 40 /45 Championship Feedback
We asked associations and Managers for any Feedback . Received 3 responses below .
Hi Crowy
I thought the 40’s -45”s championships worked well. Standard of Hockey was good.
Couple of Questions though.
We only entered our 40’s team in 40B as we only had 4 players under 45. What if wecould get 6 or 7 over 40’s players next year and would probably be strong enough to play in Premier League.
Is there Promotion and relegation for Premier League?

Kind Regards,
Glen Buttsworth
Hi Glenn
The feedback from both Tamworth teams was all positive. The format allowed for the vast differences in skill level across the age group, allowing each of our teams’ excellent competition.
This format also assisted recruit a new group of players, usually half of the 45’s would make up the numbers for 40’s if we were able to field a team. Having 2 teams away allowing for different ability levels really increased the social enjoyment for 29 men, which you know is the key to sustaining teams and increasing participation.
Tamworth fully supports this new format and would not support reverting to separate competitions. Thanks to the Masters committee for sticking your neck out and giving something new a go.
