Given the recent Government announcements increasing the Tier status of many areas in the South and specifically in our League, we have taken the decision to suspend league hockey during January.

(2020) | Christmas greetings |
| As we approach the Christmas break it is time to reflect on the year, and what a rather unusual year it was. We have supported hockey as the third team always does, and enabled a good number of matches to be played before the pre-Christmas shut down when most of us went into Tier 4. What happens in the New Year will remain a mystery for a while yet but, even if leagues don't restart for a while, there are likely to be friendly games where we can support and keep our umpiring skills ticking over.
Thanks to you all for your support this year, making yourselves available and often being willing and able to shift appointments at very short notice as dictated by the needs of appointing, otherwise known as the game of Human Jenga.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year - whatever that may hold for us all. | As we approach the Christmas break it is time to reflect on the year, and what a rather unusual year it was.

(2020) | EH communication on Sanctions for Covid 19 related offences |
| The National Disciplinary Panel has recommended that the following penalties should be imposed as the MINIMUM periods of suspension for Red Card / Matchday Misconduct Offences where the behaviour in question amounts to breach of Covid 19 protocols:-
Regulation 6.5(a) offences:- 45 Days suspension
Regulation 6.5(b) offences:- 60 Days suspension
Regulation 6.5(c) offences:- 90 Days suspension
The NDP is fully aware that the recommended minimum penalties set out above exceed the mandatory minimum sanctions for each category of offence as set out in the Red Card/ MMO Regulations, but feel that the threat of a significant period of suspension is necessary in order to persuade everyone to take their responsibilities seriously and to observe the current Covid 19 protocols to the letter. The summary above also deliberately excludes any reference to Regulation 6.5(d) cases on the basis that breaches of Covid 19 protocols could NOT be regarded as minor offences and that any report from an umpire referring to Reg 6.5(d) in the context of Covid 19 would result in the offence being placed in one of the other three categories and penalised accordingly.
Finally, a reminder that the Disrepute Offence Complaint Regulations are very specific in saying that where the conduct which constitutes the disrepute offence amounts to conduct which would be viewed as a Red Card/ MMO then similar penalties should follow.
