Scotland’s top indoor hockey talent on show in Dundee

The cream of Scotland’s indoor hockey talent will be on display at Grove Menzieshill’s Intervention Rentals Indoor Hockey Tournament at Dundee International Sports Centre (DISC) on the weekend of 9/10 January 2016.

Scotland’s men and women’s international teams will use the tournament as vital practice before heading to the European Hockey Championships in Portugal the following weekend (Men) and France on the weekend of 22-24 January (Women).

The round-robin tournament will give Scotland the opportunity to play against the best club sides in the country.

Host club Grove Menzieshill are multiple Scottish indoor hockey champions, Dundee Wanderers women and Inverleith men are the reigning champions, and completing the teams are Dundee Wanderers men and a combined Clydesdale Western/Western Wildcats women’s select team.

Indeed, you have to go back to the 1990s to find another team in Scotland that has won a Scottish League championship, underlining the quality on show.

In addition, the club hope to inspire a new generation of hockey umpires through a seminar for youth members of the club on Saturday led by Rio Olympics Umpire and Grove Menzieshill member Sarah Wilson.

Grove Menzieshill President Kyle Moir said, “We are delighted that Scotland have chosen our tournament to prepare for the challenge of European competition. The other teams will ensure that they are well tested and we look forward to another high quality, exciting tournament.”

“We are also delighted to have Intervention Rentals continuing as our tournament sponsors. Without them this type of event would be impossible to host.”

Entry is free to all spectators. Play runs from 10.15am to 6pm on Saturday and 9.10am to 5pm on Sunday.
