Scotland Men’s and Women’s Master fraternity will be represented by no less than eight teams at the EuroHockey Masters Championships in England starting on Saturday 22 August.
While Scotland Senior Women battle it out at the EuroHockey Nations Championships at Lee Valley, there are no fewer than sixteen Masters and Grand Masters competitions being played at the same time, featuring 92 teams across three venues:

All this is part of the FIH’s vision of the family of hockey stretching from young children all the way up to grandparents and even great grandparents taking part in the sport they love.
