The Trojan Games 2012

The Trojans Easter Hockey festival returns 06-09 April 2012, with unsuprisingly this year a sporting theme. It's a mixed tournament, all on one site for up to 24 team, at a cost of £45 per head, which includes camping, umpires, games, discos, and some food.

Its quite possibly the biggest sporting event this year west of London! - although probably best not to google 'Trojan Games' at work, as this may be career limiting. If you need more info check out the website or email quickly mail@easterhockeyfestival.com, as its first come first served!

Canterbury 31st Annual Hockey Tournament

EASTER 2012 06-09 APRIL

Sees the return of Mixed Hockey to be played as a six-side competition along side the traditional Men's and Ladies 11-a-side. With the inevitable exitement surrouding the Olympics there are no prizes for guessing the theme for the tournament and no doubt the fancy dress will provide opportunity to see the imagination run wild. Visit the website and get in early to avoid disappointment.
