Date change sought for hockey
The New Zealand Hockey Association will seek a deferment of the Asian qualifying tournament for the inaugural junior World Cup, scheduled for Kuala Lumpur next May.
The association’s management committee at its meeting last evening expressed concern at the lack of information it has received about the qualifying tournament and also the fact it is being played two years before the International Hockey Federation requires it.
Minutes of an F.I.H. meeting stated that the finals of the tournament —with 12 countries competing—will be held in Paris in SeptemberOctober, 1979, and that qualifying tournaments had to be completed before May that year.
The N.Z.H.A. decided at its last meeting to send a team to Kuala Lumpur, but will ask the F.I.H. if it is possible to have the tournament played at a later date because it believes a different team would have to be chosen for the finals if the team in Kuala Lumpur qualified. The tournament is for players under 21 years of age.
