Colin Birtles on Tour !

Colin Birtles is set to take to the field in the Christchurch Casino Golden Oldies Sports Celebration in New Zealand. Now a sprightly 83-year-old, Colin will be getting togeher with old friends when he takes part in this tournament on the other side of the world in April 2018.

The former North of England over 70s player, who has a long background with Wilmslow Hockey Club, is a regular competitor in the Golden Oldies festivals as a member of the Irish Gamesters team. He will be accompanied by the equally evergreen Steve Kinsella - we look forward to the stories and photos from their trip !
