It’s been confirmed from the European Hockey Federation that Holcombe Hockey Club will play host to the EuroHockey Club Trophy (Women) next year.
The event, which Holcombe Ladies 1st XI won last year in Ireland, will see eight teams compete over a four-day tournament, taking place on 19-22 April 2019.
“We are delighted to have been selected as host of the EuroHockey Club Trophy (Women) 2019. It is our first time hosting a EuroHockey event, and one that will give a buzz to our members and local community.” said Chairman Jon Rye.
He added: “After a successful EuroHockey campaign last season for our Ladies 1XI, it seemed only fitting that the club applied to host the 2019 Trophy and allowed our hockey family to share in the EuroHockey excitement. It will certainly help the club and hockey family increase the visibility of our sport.”
“Our volunteers will work tirelessly to ensure that players, spectators, EHF officials, media and sponsors receive a warm welcome at Holcombe Park.”
