The following has been received regarding the World Masters Games being held in Sydney in October

As you will be aware, the Sydney 2009 World Masters Games are coming! In just eight months from now, 25,000 competitors from over 100 countries will be congregating in Sydney to experience all it has to offer – world class sporting competition and venues and internationally acclaimed hospitality.

Hockey is one of the 28 Sports included in the games and competition will be held from 10 to 18 October (inclusive).

Organisers are aware that both the Men’s (Melbourne) and Women’s (Hobart) National Veterans Championships will finish on Saturday 10 October, providing a clash of dates between these two events. With this in mind, it is envisaged that teams playing finals games of the National Veterans Championships on Saturday 10 October will be given a day’s ‘grace’ in the schedule with their Games competition commencing on Sunday 11 October. If your team is likely to be in the finals for either the Men’s or Women’s National Veterans Championships on Saturday 10 October, 2009, and you are registered for the Sydney 2009 World Masters Games, please email your details to carlie.m@hockeynsw.com.au

The Sydney 2009 World Masters Games is a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ opportunity and it is sincerely hoped that this measure will assist those hockey lovers wishing to be involved in both events.

If you have any queries about the Sydney 2009 World Masters Games, please phone +61 2 8116 2009 or go to the Games website www.2009worldmasters.com
