LAHORE – The U-19 National Junior Hockey Championship will be played at Bahawalpur Hockey Stadium from February 26 and will be organised by the Punjab Hockey Association on behalf of the PHF.
The championship is of importance as the PHF wants to spot talent and widen the player base, from where a strong side would be groomed, ahead of the 3rd Men’s Asia Cup 2011.
The PHF has appointed “Age Credentials Check Committee” and Local NADRA Staff to verify the ages of the players and will apply “Bone Test” or may resort to “Facial Scrutiny” to disqualify overage players. Concealment of age will lead the players involved being debarred.
