Season 2010/11 - A Warm Welcome to All ...

As new season approaches - we extend a warm welcome to all Midland Regional Hockey Association
sponsors, officials, clubs, players, supporters and spectators.

All fixtures for 378 teams, from the 102 clubs for the 2010/11 season are posted here -

You will note that for divisions with 11 rather than 12 teams, there are no 'crossover' fixtures arranged this year.
Instead there is usually a notional 'Blank' team and a rest week arranged. Teams in these divisions are reminded that
a fully completed Match report form MUST STILL BE POSTED to your Divisional Administrator for the otherwise Blank game.

We also include, for completeness, fixture listings of all three Midlands Badger Conference Divisions.
The 23 Badgers Conference sides this year, comprise a North Division, an East Division and a South Division.
Good Luck to all teams in all divisions ... enjoy your hockey ...

in a specific format, posted to a dedicated MRHA number - for instant logging and immediate viewing by all ....

Any member of the home team can post a preview match result - there is no requirement to registed a mobile phone to
use this service - and the cost is that of a single text message from your normal network provider.

The result MUST be supplied by the HOME side immediately after the game - see formatting below - and will
be acknowledged with a confirmation reply text. There is no additional charge for this reply message.
All results logged will be immediately available for viewing, alongside updated league tables.

The system will be closely monitored for usability and possible abuse - and the administrators have the ability
to permanently block/ban any mobile device that is found abusing the system.

League Fixture Dates 2010/11 - a reminder

At the recent League Committee meeting the League Saturdays for the coming 2010/11 season were confirmed as:
2nd October to 11th December 2010     then     15th January to 26th March 2011

The exception to these dates is that the 1st XI Midlands Premier Division will start two weeks earlier,
and play the first half of their season from 18th September 2010   to   27th November 2010.
This will be achieved by moving games originally scheduled for December to the start of the programme.
This is due to the probable involvement of both teams and MRHUA Umpires in indoor hockey in December 2010.
