A Nelson Hockey stalwart was the inspiration behind the Town v Country fixture.
Mark Wilkens died while playing hockey at Saxton Field in 2015. A new trophy named in his memory was up for grabs in the inaugural Town v Country game at Saxton Field.
The trophy was commissioned by Jamie Brown and created by Kieran Cleary, both teachers at Nelson College where Mark attended in the mid-1970s. Jamie says it was a great way to remember a man who had given so much to the game, both in Nelson and at a national level.
We’ll see you all on March Sunday 29th at 01:30 pm at NHA.
