Kent based Holcombe will be boosting a very talented squad once again, players to keep an eye out for include Barry Middleton, Ollie Payne and Nick Bandurak.
CHC caught up with Barry Middleton.
“I’m really looking forward to getting back over to Cookstown HC. Always a good pre season test for us and a chance for our new boys to bond with the rest of the squad. Cookstowns hospitality is second to none and their beautiful clubhouse is unique”
