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.

TASMAN DISTRICTS M 50+
HNZ 2020 Masters
Silver Medalist ....
Congratulations!

2020 HNZ MASTERS
CHRISTCHURCH
Report

The Nelson Men’s 60+ team gained a creditable 4th ranking in their competition losing the play-off for 3rd and 4th spot to Canterbury who they’d already beaten earlier in the round robin part of the competition.
The Nelson Women’s 45+ team enjoyed a couple of close games with Tauranga/BOP and Hawke’s Bay in finishing 7th in their Competiton. The team put in a lot of hard work for little reward against strong competition.
The Tasman Women’s 35+ were a little unlucky to strike a very tight pool in their competition and with three draws and one win were unable to penetrate into the top 4 teams. Finishing mid-table was a commendable effort from the team, but scoring a couple of extra goals could’ve improved their position.
In behalf of NHA we send all Teams our congratulations!!!!

TASMAN DISTRICTS M50+
Final Report

A gallant effort from the Tasman Men’s 50+ team proved to be a step too far when the injury ravaged team drew their final 0-0 with Wellington and subsequently lost the shoot out. With failing energy, both finalists fought hard and had opportunities but Wellington’s defence remained solid. The silver medal was a deserved reward for the Tasman team’s week’s effort.
Congratulations to TASMAN DISTRICTS M50+ on this great performance !

SILVER MEDAL....Congratulations!!!

"...Tasman Men’s 35+ pressing hard for an elusive goal. They fought well but North Harbour took their chances and came out the winners 2-0. The team fought really hard and had several opportunities particularly in the second half but were unable to overcome a strong North Harbour mid-field. They can be proud of their silver medal achievement."
