Eden's hockey umpires are all set for the season

HOCKEY NEWS - Eden District Hockey's top whistleblowers are raring and ready to go, with no less than seven umpires set to represent the region at various tournaments around the country.

It is now the time of the year for provincial and regional hockey tournaments, and while the various hockey unions in South Africa have selected their representative teams to take part, they have also selected and nominated umpires to officiate at the tournaments on their behalf.

This is no different for Eden District Hockey, who have selected and nominated seven umpires that they are shipping off to all parts of the country over the next month or so.

René Berndt is heading to the Men's CDs tournament in July.

The Eden umpires who will be officiating at regional, inter-provincial (IPT) and Country Districts (CDs) tournaments are:

Armand Basson – u. 13 Girls IPT, 1-5 July in Bloemfontein
Charne Dalton – u. 14 Boys Regionals, 24-28 June in Durban
Reuben Hamman – u. 16 Boys Regionals, 23-27 June in Gqeberha
