Breaking News Durban Camp One and IPT2022 moves to 24 To 27 March 2022

After consultation with KZN and due to the following circumstances, the IPT 2022 has been postponed from February 2022 to March 2022:

  • The threat of a fourth wave of COVID is generally expected mid-December 2021 and the potential adverse effect on a few players’ February IPT2022 and overseas travel arrangements.
  • SA Masters hockey has arranged a final selection camp and trials for 18,19, and 20 February 2022, which may adversely affect the SAGMHA IPT.
  • The potential Covid threat may also result in a postponement of the SA Masters final selection camp and trials; hence, the “early bird catches the worm.”
  • The February 2022 IPT would require non-scheduling of games from 10:00hrs until 12:00hrs x 3 or 4 Astro’s due to the heat. This will also negate and influence the previous 1-5 day planned Camp and also contribute to additional costs for Astro rentals.
  • The postponement permits additional time for players to “attain” and improve their fitness.
  • The long week-end prior to the latest date was considered, but flights and accommodation are at a premium, and Durban is not the “best” place to visit on a long week-end.

WMH will be informed of a potential short delay regarding the registration of WC 2022 teams.

SAGM Hockey will still be able to procure kit.

PROVISIONAL FIXTURES PROGRAM: We are still debating this aspect of our tournament. We have extreme heat and humidity in Durban in February and March. We would like fixtures to take place as early as possible in the mornings. Planning will depend on the number of teams involved. Should we need to we may schedule fixtures early in the morning and in the evening. Hopefully no games at the hottest time of the day. More details will be provided closer to tournament date.

SAGMHA AGM: To be held SATURDAY at Riverside: time to be confirmed once fixtures finalised

FUNCTIONS:

  • FRIDAY – There will be a braai, likely to be held at Riverside. Costs related to the dinner have been included in the Levy.
  • SATURDAY – Possibly be a free evening. This is still being discussed, we will provide an update in the next newsletter.

Note: Players selected for the World Cup will be advised of a camp, this will be held on 24 / 25 February 2022.

Prep for IPT 2021 games update

We are in the final stretch to IPT 2021. There has been a little confusion about the next few weeks. Here is some clarity:

  • If you made yourself available for the IPT, then you are in either at 60+, 65+ or 70+ side. The age you are at the end of the next year is what is counted.
    • All players (who made themselves available) less than 65 (minus a few exceptions) are in the 60+ side. Trevor or John Cadman should have emailed you already. These players will play in White for the next three weeks.
    • All other players who made themselves available, playing in Blue (bring white down just in case). Either Warren Hewitt (my other brother called Warren) or Noreen should have contacted you.
  • If you are unavailable for IPT and want to play the last 3 games, you should have emailed me. We have 30 odd players make themselves available, even if for one game. These players’ names have been given to Gary. He is managing these sides. If you are available, you should have been contacted. You will play in either Yellow or Red.
  • Although I have not got clearance to say this, I would say if you keen to play pitch.

 

Schedule is online, here is a copy.

Date 18:30 19:30
2021/09/27 Blue Vs White Red Vs Yellow
2021/10/04 Red Vs Yellow Blue Vs White
2021/10/11 Blue Vs White Red Vs Yellow

The cost per game is the same as before, R60 per game or R180 for the three games.

WPGM Winter 2021 Wrap up and now what next? IPT Prep, Summer league. We need your response.

With the conclusion of the WP Grand Masters Winter League, we move into the final preparation towards GM IPT 15-17 Oct. Congratulations to the Black team that won with 27 points. Also, congrats to Clint, who scored the most goals. See both tables below.

For the next 3 weeks, there will be two games at the times we have got used to 18:15 for 18:30 and 19:15 for 19:30. Two teams will be made up of the players that are going to IPT in Oct, and the rest of the players will make up the other sides. The number of sides made up will depend on the response we get to this email. For all none IPT attendees, we need to know if you are available to play Monday 27 Sept, 4 and 11 Oct.

CALL TO ACTION: Email secretary.at.wpgm.co.za by Wednesday night with a yes or no.
