Several Isle of Man hockey teams are in action this weekend in the England Hockey Championships.

This has led to all local Premiership games and one Division One fixture being postponed - see full fixture list in this week’s Manx Independent.

In the EH Open Men’s Tier Two Trophy, the Isle of Man men’s A team will go up against their Sutton Coldfield at Wyndley Leisure Centre in the West Midlands.

The men’s B team enjoy the luxury of a rare home fixture when they take on the Bowdon thirds in the Men’s Tier Three Vase at the NSC, while the island women’s B side travel to Lancashire to take on their Preston counterparts in the Women’s Tier Three Vase.
