GHA U12 A Teams Girls and Boys Festivals Sunday 15th January

Please find the order of play / schedule at this link for the GHA U12 Girls and Boys Junior Hockey Festivals this Sunday 15th January.

Both girls and boys are at Cheltenham Ladies College. Pitches will be available from 12:30pm with matches starting at 1:00pm and finishing at 3:12pm.

There are 4 boys teams and 9 girls teams, something which has made the scheduling challenging. All teams are playing 5 games except for Cirencester Bears who have 6, but this is because of the odd number of girls teams and someone has to have an extra game. The boys with just 4 teams have to play their oppositions a couple of times in some instances to get 5 games.

The “odd” arrangement of games is because of the difficulty of getting from the top pitch (blue) to the bottom (green) in 3 minutes or vice versa. The only time this arises is in the last round of games when W-U-E Wombles have to get from blue to green, so Cirencester Bears please be patient if they are a few minutes late, but as it is the last game you can run over to make up for this.

Given the number of attempts I had to make to get this all to work, please check the order of play / schedule very carefully. The error checking on my spreadsheet is not fool proof! Any questions please let me know.
