This season the RAF Cup has reverted to a schools only competition and an equivalent schools’ competition has been set up for girls at U14, U16 and U18 age groups. Hockey England has introduced new national cups for boys and girls at U15 and U18 with no interim titles at county and regional so it’s the national title or nothing! In both the schools’ and clubs’ competitions players can only play at one age group but players can no longer be cup-tied by their schools. No National U9 Festival was held.
Beeston now fields 2 Ladies teams and all tournaments are entered solely as Beeston.
