Following a recent court case, detailed in the link below, the club would like to make it clear that we do not provide face masks for players. Some teams may have masks but you should not rely on those masks being available at any time.

We recommend all players likely to defend penalty corners provide their own masks. We advise parents to invest in face masks for junior members. If you do not have a mask and are asked to defend a short corner, you do not have to do so. Please make that clear to your captain before a game if possible. The danger from penalty corners is not just from drag flicks but deflections from low shots/passes.

Please read the manufacturer's instructions before use.
