Parkes took out the Hockey NSW Community Event Award for this exact event and it’s very exciting to have Parkes as the hosts again in 2018. This year we will have 12 teams in attendance, they will be coming from Parkes, Orange, Molong and also some players from Bathurst.

The event creates a great opportunity to develop every aspect of our sport, the players will partake in a skills session before they start their games, the coaches will be upskilled via a workshop and supported throughout the weekend and the umpires will be learning as they go with the help and guidance of other experienced umpires.
