As part of our transition to the new County Management System (CMS), all participating clubs are required to have (at least) the following roles registered on the system:

• Chairperson
• Treasurer
• Senior Cup Contact

The Senior Cup Contact will be responsible for:

• Creating teams on the CMS
• Entering teams into the relevant cup competitions
• Scheduling fixtures (home teams set the date/time)
• Entering results once matches have been played

📅 The final date to enter teams is 7 September 2025.

To support club officials, we’ve created short video tutorials on our website, showing:

• How to create a team
• How to enter a team into a competition

Visit our How To page for these videos

If you haven’t yet registered the necessary officials for your club, please visit the County Management System page for instructions anda  link to the registration form.

Once the entry deadline has passed, our Senior Cup Organiser, Mike Harvey, will create and publish the draws via the CMS. Fixtures will then be visible on the Hampshire Hockey website.

Submitting Fixtures and Results

• The home club is responsible for proposing the match date and time (before the round’s play-by date) and entering it into the CMS.
• The visiting team will receive fixture details by email.
• After the match, both clubs must enter the result. If the scores match, the draw will automatically update.

Please Bear With Us

As this is our first year using the new CMS for the Cup competitions, we expect there may be some bumps along the way. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we fine-tune the system and resolve any unforeseen issues.

📨 If you need technical help with the CMS, please contact the webmaster using this form.

📬 For questions specifically about the competitions, you can contact Mike Harvey here.

We’re committed to making the new Hampshire CMS a reliable and efficient tool to support all of Hampshire Hockey—and to make life easier for everyone running our competitions.
