Update on 2022 AGM and IPT warmup games.

IPT Warmup games
IPT warmup games will begin Monday 28th Feb. We are busy finalising times and games. The proposal is that we play on both the A and B field. The one starting at 18:30 the other 19:00. This will give the physio time to warmup and cool down the players per field. Once we have finalised the time the fixtures will be published. The relevant managers will need to organise their teams and be there on the night to coach and manager their side.
All players that are not going to IPT but would like to have a run notify Gary at garybarrett500@gmail.com, who will allocate you to a team. We cannot guarantee that everyone not going gets a run but will try.
IPT Durban March 2022 Team Announcement
By now, you should be aware the 2022 IPT will be run from 25-27 March. Teams are now more or less finalised, with a few players still confirming availability. Below are the teams and those in the wings.

Summer league payment, capitation fee and IPT reminder
It was great to resume the Grand Masters Summer League last Thursday. The game this week will be the final catchup game from last year.
Summer league payment
With the second half of the league starting 27 Jan 2022, we request that all members pay for the league via EFT upfront. Also, since this is a new year, the capitation fee is due.
As per the GM constitution:
“Capitation Fee: Players in the 60+ and older age group are required to pay their annual capitation fee of R330 while players in the 55+ age group pay R110.00 capitation fee. These fees are then paid directly to their Provinces. Players in the +75 age category are exempted from paying capitation fees.”
Hence, if you are between 60 and 75 as of 31 Dec 2022, you need to pay the R330 now. If you are less than 60 as of 31 Dec 2022, the fee is R110. 75 or older as of 21 Dec 2022, no fee.
Please pay the capitation fee and the R220 for the league as soon as you can. Email Noreen Wonnacott at nwonnie@gmail.com proof of payment.
Note about team selection
All team managers, please note the rule for using players from other teams to ensure you have a squad on the park.
The rule is simple—age for age, position for position. So, a player can only replace a player that is close to the player’s age that is not available.
Additional Note: Regular players take preference over players that only play when available.
IPT reminder
By evening of 16 Jan, I have only received 29 responses about availability for IPT 29 out of 91 members is disappointing, to say the least. To those 29, I say thanks. To the other 62 of you, and you should know who you are, please email secretary@wpgm.co.za with the subject: “Durban IPT March 2022” with a simple Yes or No.
PS. All 55 or older (by 31 Dec 2022) qualify for IPT in Durban selection; we can apply for dispensation if you are 54 or younger and are keen anyway.
PPS. IPT dates are also 25-27 March 2022; unless you are in the World Cup squad, then you need to be there the morning of the 24th or apply for dispensation.
Durban IPT March 2022
Date of IPT: 25-27 March 2022. (WRC squad members be there the evening of 23 March).
Call for players
We are very keen to have as many players representing Western Province as possible. If you were born in or before 1967, you are eligible. If you were born before 1967 and are still keen, we can apply for dispensation for you.
Once we have a list of who is available, we will select teams.
What do you need to do?
What we need from you before Sat 22 January is email secretary@wpgm.co.za with the subject list Durban IPT March 2022 and give us your answer of Yes or No. Or click Either Here… and add Yes or No to the body of the message.
WRC squad members
You need to be in Durban on the evening of March 23, 2022. If you are in the squad and cannot attend IPT, you must apply for dispensation. To do so, email secretary@wpgm.co.za.
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.
