Cambridge will host a tournament for six teams of players aged 40+ next Saturday (October 10).
It’s the first such tournament held at John Kerkhof Park, aimed at giving over 40s the chance to combine football with off-the-pitch camaraderie.
Participating teams are:
Northland: Whangarei Mad Hatters
Auckland: Bay Olympic, Takapuna, East Coast Bays, East Coast Bays Foreign Legion
Waikato: Cambridge
The tournament starts at 10am and each game will be 2 x 15 min halves, with five-minute half-time breaks.
Games are 11-a-side with rolling subs from squads of up to 18 players.
Two groups of three will be decided in round-robin fashion, with three points for a win and a point for a draw. If teams are even on points, group placings will be decided by goal difference, then most goals scored, who beat who and if teams are still tied, by toss of a coin.
