Sponsorship

Strikers Women's Hockey Club would be happy to hear from anyone who would be interested in sponsoring our club. At present, our players have to pay for all costs involved, including turf fees, hire of grounds, purchase of equipment, costs of coaches and umpires. As many of our players are young people who are students and only have part-time employment, this makes it difficult for some players to continue to participate in the sport.

If you are interested in sponsoring us in some form, please contact us by email on
