Hockey Men and Women

Varsity tournament will run from 24 to 27 August. There is going to be some really exciting competition for everyone involved. All seven campuses will be competing in both men's and women's hockey at Karori Park.

The competition is going to be run on a round robin basis with six teams competing at one time, one team having a bye. Games will begin on Monday morning (25th) and finish Thursday morning (27th). It is planned to have the NZU (New Zealand Universities) team to play a Wellington representative side on Thursday afternoon.

University teams are selected from enrolled students who play for their varsity club. There is a lot of keenness and competition, so the standard of hockey is high. Teams will include past NZU players and also NZ players (your chance to meet a star!)

The night of Tuesday 25 August is "our" night. A chance to meet your opponents off the field at Olivers Cabaret. This will be the venue for the men's and women's hockey and basketball dinner. It will include full bar facilities, dinner and a band. A chance for everyone to enter into tournament spirit. So get into it and you will have a great time!
