Cookstown HC’s annual pre-season Nigel Cheevers Memorial Tournament will see two of the contenders for the Ulster Premier League take on the Reds at Steelweld Park.
Instonians and Portadown will take on Cookstown in a round-robin format on Saturday, September 2nd.
The hosts will play their games at 1.30pm and 3pm before the two visiting teams lock horns at 4.30pm. There will also be a barbecue at the Hockey Club that evening for all the competitors.
“We are really pleased to host our friends at Inst and Portadown for the second year running in this excellent tournament,” said Cookstown midfielder Mark Crooks.
“This should be a tough fought competition for all involved, and the perfect preparation for the season ahead. Having two matches in a day will let each team know just how far along they are with their fitness!
“We are due to play our first match against Cork in the EY Hockey League on September 16th and this will be a big part of our preparations for that.
“I’ve no doubt that our pre-season efforts will put us in the best possible condition to attain our goals in the EY Hockey League.
“From our point of view we’ve got to get in the mindset that every game, every quarter of hockey counts from here on in, and that we can take some lesson from each match and then build on that.”
