Selection • All players to let their captains know by Tuesday night. • PITCHERO at bedfordhockeyclub.com • Captains/ Coaches select on Wednesday pm • Personal communication if a player is asked to play down (or to parent if u18) with feedback • Teams subject to change depending on availability … “doing what is best for the club”
