Hockey: New Manx women's squad to make EH championships debut

Women's Over-35's to begin cup journey with home draw

A new Isle of Man national hockey squad will make its debut on home soil in the England Hockey Masters Championships this weekend.

The newly-formed Isle of Man Women's Over-35's are, for the first time, entering into the EH Women's Over-35's Cup for the 2025/26 season.

For their first contest, they'll compete on familiar turf at the NSC in Douglas when they host Chester Over-35's at 11.15am on Sunday (30 November).

Whilst the squad is entered into the cup tournament, depending on results it could also see them move into either the Trophy or Vase competitions as the season progresses.

The Isle of Man Women's Over-35's team for this weekend's tie is listed below:
