The Junior Leagues Management Committee is pleased to announce that the second event of the U11 Conference Series will take place this Saturday at the designated venue. Teams from across the North, Midlands, South-East and South-West conferences will compete in the next round of the season’s youth programme.

Games begin at 09:30, with warm-ups starting from 08:45. The tournament will consist of group matches in the morning, followed by placement and knockout rounds in the afternoon.

Each conference will run on a round-robin format within their brackets before cross-conference play in the final sessions. All matches will follow U11 rules as set out by the EIHA; teams are reminded that stop-clock timing and standard interchange procedures apply.

Spectators are welcome throughout the day. Entry is free and light refreshments will be available in the foyer. Teams are asked to use the locker rooms assigned on arrival and to keep bench areas tidy to ensure smooth turnover between games.

JM­LC thanks all clubs, coaches and volunteers for their commitment so far in the 2016-17 season and looks forward to another excellent day of competitive but friendly youth hockey.
