Hello All
This Sunday we are at the Hawks Festival.
The address is:-
Oxford Hawks Hockey Club, Banbury Road North, Oxford, OX2 8EQ.
We are starting at 0900 so the meet time is 0830.
Don’t forget shinpads and Mouthguards. We have match shirts but if you have green shirts wear them.
The rest of this is a message from Hawks about parking and timings.
Timing
The timing is going to be ….
U8 0900 to 1100
U10 1200 to 1430
U12 1530 to 1750

I have allowed a clear hour between each age group to try and ensure sufficient time between each age group to clear car parks . It is the Oxford Half marathon the same day so the centre of Oxford will be busy but the ring road should be fine.

Car Parking
Hawks will have limited car parking on the day so please try the alternative car parks first. Cutteslowe car park at the end of Harbord road is a pay and display park now.
It is £1.50 for two hours or £2.50 for 3 hours or longer. There is no parking on Harbord Road now. There is also car parking at Jordon Hill Business Park which is just across the road from Hawks. There is plenty of car parking here either on the estate road or in the OUP sports car park and it is free and only a short distance from Hawks with a pedestrian crossing over the Banbury Road.

Regards Rules….
Teams will be 7-a-side playing on half pitches. Squads of up to 10 are allowed with as many substitutions as wanted.
Teams are mixed with no minimum numbers for boys or girls. All girls and all boys teams will be allowed but to be done in the spirit of a festival.
Each game will be centrally timed and the duration will be a single half of 9-10 minutes for all age groups. There is a very short period between matches so can Team Managers ensure that their teams are ready by the relevant pitch.
The U10s and U12s must have a fully kitted goalkeeper OR 7 outfield players – no kicking backs.
No Short Corners – as it is still early in the season and because the games are short in length, any offence in the D by the defending team will be taken as a free hit 5 m outside the D.

Umpires
Hawks will aim to supply umpires. These will include junior umpires so be kind to them……

Refreshments
There will be refreshments provided throughout the day at the pitch side kiosk and in the club house. This will include a BBQ with bacon sandwiches…etc
See you Sunday
Cheers
Shaun
