Leeds Adel Hockey club have a long tradition of playing masters hockey, involved most recently in the new Yorkshire and North East Masters leagues, England Hockey Competitions, and representative hockey.

We enter four masters teams (women’s over 35, and men’s over 35s, 45s and 55s)

Why consider masters hockey at Adel?

Play with like-minded similar-aged players who are also juggling kids, injuries, and still have that old retro top! Not having to play against that 18-year-old who has energy to burn and refers to their skill level as “sick” is always a positive.

Cup draws are pending, and each team has 3 lives in the tournament so you drop from tier 1-2-3 if you lose a game. Initial rounds are local, later rounds are more regional, and finally, you could be anywhere in the latter stages.

Not an Adel player, but still want to get involved? Providing your club doesn’t enter a team in your age group, you can join us in orange for these games.

We hope to continue to raise the profile of the women’s masters team in the 25/26 season with some friendlies as well as our cup games. Our captain, Mary, would love to hear from you if you’re interested in playing.

If interested, speak with:
Mary Stewart or MJ Auckland-Child Women’s over 35’s
Dave McCollum or Jim Robinson – Men’s over 35’s
Richard Partner – Men’s over 45’s
Greg Hilton – Men’s over 55’s

Across the years Adel have had players selected to represent the over 35s (including the captaincy), over 40s, over 45s, over 50s and over 70s. We also had players representing England, Scotland, and Wales.
