Invite to Pre-Season Tournament

East Hockey Officiating are organising a pre-season tournament for 5^th and 6^th September 2026 for both Women’s and Men’s / Open Teams. It will be held at Old Loughtonians HC.

The format is planned to give each team two shorter games a day (totalling at least 2 full games worth over the two days).

The tournament is for teams playing at Grade 2 level (i.e. Premier Division or Division 1) in 2026/27.

Appropriate standard neutral umpires will be provided and the tournament is also planned as a development opportunity for our umpires. They will be coached throughout the weekend.

For those that might be wondering, yes, historically this tournament has been known as ‘PLUM’.

The deadline for entries is the end of June 2026.

If you are interested and would like to discuss entering, please contact paul.watts@east.officiating.hockey for more information.
