Another Covid update for you all.

Sorry for the delay, after the government's announcement of a return to tiers we had to wait on guidance from them & England Hockey about what we can do.

So...... WE CAN PLAY HOCKEY!

(mostly)

Please read carefully before you play.

Senior hockey will restart THIS WEEK. We have matches on Saturday, training will restart Monday 7th December, we hope to play games on Sat 12 & 19th as well as 5th.

As we're in Tier 3, we're not allowed to travel from our area to play sport, & others can't travel into our area. Unlike before the lockdown, our understanding is that Gateshead & those other southern parts are all part of a separate area to North Of Tyne (Newcastle, North Tyneside & Northumberland).

This means:
- we'll only be playing league matches & friendlies against Northumberland CHA teams
- the match schedules on Pitch Hero are unlikely to be correct, we're making late changes & the league fixtures aren't in our control anyway. Please check in the team chats or send us a message for fixture updates
- if you're over 18 & do not live in the North Of Tyne area, you can't train or play with us at the moment, sorry (you can still coach & umpire)
- if you play for another club but can't get to them because of these restrictions, you're welcome to train or play friendlies with us, get in touch

All the same Covid precautions that were in force earlier in the season still apply, including the ban on spectators.

Juniors & Social hockey we hope to start in January, we'll post updates in due course.

Hopefully we'll see you on the pitch in the next couple of weeks!
