World Cup winner Alison Wheatley is encouraging her fellow Brighton & Hove Hockey Club members to follow her lead by taking part in trials for England Masters age groups, which start in November.

"We do have some very talented 'older' players across our male and female teams and it would be great for the club if more of us got involved and are successful at this level," says Ali, who has just returned from South Africa where she was part of the England squad which won the Over-55s women's competition at the Hockey World Masters.

Masters hockey is organised in five-year age groups, from Over-35s upwards to 70s for women and 80s for men. A full list of initial trial dates for all age groups with contact details for each can be found at:
