Club Champions Trophy 2016

After months of planning, it is now all coming together this weekend at the Scottish National Hockey Centre at Glasgow Green where Bromac Kelburne are hosting the EuroHockey Club Champions Trophy from Friday to Monday.

Steve Bain, event manager, has put together a dedicated and enthusiastic team of volunteers from within the club and from further afield.

Everyone is looking forward to what promises to be a great festival of hockey.

Much has changed since Kelburne last hosted the tournament in Linwood in 1995.

Many of those who played in the tournament are now involved with organising the 2016 event.

BBC Scotland reporter, Keir Murray, spoke to Iain Scolefield and the Kelburne midfielder hopes hosting the EuroHockey Club Champions Trophy will inspire a new generation of players.

“We hosted a tournament in Linwood in 1995 so I went along when I was eight and that was my first taste of high-level hockey,” said the 29-year-old.

“It set me up for my career. It will be great for the team and the club.”

In the years that followed that European Hockey Federation tournament 21 years ago, Iain went on to establish himself as a key member of the Scotland set-up and gained over 120 caps.
