Valencia Grand Masters Cup

Engines started and full (almost) steam ahead. Below is a brief account of the GM event in Valencia by Josè Borrell (Pepe), Sixtiberians Coordinator and WGMA member, with photos courtesy of various photographers/players. It was good to meet up again after more than 2 years with old and new colleagues.

Nice sunny weather accompanied teams average 65+ and more from Spain (Sixtiberians Blue, Red and White), together with Gens Italica Nord, Gens Italica Sud and Spencer HC from London.

6 teams, plenty of games of 20 minutes each half, nice and friendly atmosphere and Jawed still playing great with his 50-year-old Karachi King Super wooden stick! Very well organised by Valencia Hockey, an enjoyable dinner party and good dancing with Spanish, Italian and Bhangra music.

Thanks very much to Spencer and Gens Italica for visiting our country, everybody showed their hunger for hockey and social fun and friendship.
