YOUNG COUNTRY AUSSIES AT 2011 OCEANIA PACIFIC CUP Dec 3 – 10, Fiji
This event was first conducted in November 2008 with the objective of providing a yearly regional competition for the developing island hockey nations. In the past their international competition has been primarily based on the South Pacific Games, which is conducted every 4 years.
Unfortunately hockey does not always feature at this event, which is true of the 2011 games to be held in New Caledonia.
This tournament now has FIH world ranking points associated with it for matches between the OHF members and this is extremely important.
The Under 21 Australian Country Hockey Teams are once again representing Australia at the 2011 Oceania Pacific Cup.
The HA Country U21’s have participated in this tournament since its inception and it provides a valuable development pathway and national representative opportunity for young country players.
The young country players always feature in the medals with the women returning with Gold medals is 2008 & 2010 and a Silver medal in 2009. The men have not yet won Gold but have returned with the Silver and Bronze medal each time.
