FHE CUP x PERTH x GRYPHON SPONSORED

The F-H-E Cup is currently going on Perth as of today. Recently we were in Japan with some Gryphon Legends running coaching clinics as well as a small tournament. Now the Cup is in Australia and bigger than ever. With an Under 16s International Event (comprising of Singapore, Japan, Malaysia as well as teams from around Australia) and an 18 team sixes tournament the FHE Cup 2009 is a melting pot of great Hockey.

So why does Gryphon have an interest here?  Well we sponsor the FHE Cup wherever it wants to go. We agree with the ethos of the FHE Cup organisers, to give the younger players the chance to play in top level tournaments with high quality hockey and even an international competition.

Currently the Australian leg of the cup is underway in Perth. Today is the first day, and will continue until Sunday the 13th of December in all forms (U16s and 6s) at the Hale Hockey Complex.
