Wimbledon and Surbiton begin their Euro Hockey campaign

The two English sides enter the fray at the Euro Hockey League KO16 Men at Sugden Road with Wimbledon and Surbiton both hoping to entertain a big home crowd and potentially set up a Sunday showdown.

The former take on Western Wildcats from Scotland in their opening game at 3.15pm, hoping to advance to the KO8 for the first time since their memorable 2017 run, ending up in fourth place.

Surbiton, meanwhile, are hosting the competition for the first time and look forward to a rematch with Belgium’s Waterloo Ducks at 5.30pm. They last met in 2019, a thrilling contest which the Ducks won in a shoot-out en route to winning the overall title.

The winners of these games will end up meeting on Sunday evening at 5pm. It forms part of a lively weekend of eight fixtures at Surbiton with the KO16 event bringing over 100 international players and 40 Olympians to the club.
