International hockey stars and Wairarapa's top talent will be on show in Wairarapa in the pre-season men's national hockey league match to be played at the Trust House Hockey Complex at Clareville this Sunday.
Seven New Zealand Black Sticks, three Black Sticks development squad members and five Junior Black Sticks will feature in the match between Trust House Capital and the Central Mavericks, at 1pm.
The match is being brought to Wairarapa by Trust House as part of its support for the regional men's team, Trust House Capital. "This is a spectacle not be missed - not just for hockey players but anyone who enjoys top-class sport," Trust House chief executive Allan Pollard said.
Capital men and women's players, including Black Sticks, will be on hand for a training session with young hockey players from 11am, something which Pollard "sees as a great chance for the youngsters to not only receive valuable tips from top players most will only have ever seen on television but also to pick up their autographs and be photographed with them".
