Euros – M65, M70, M75 Ludwigsburg – withdrawn
August 21 @ 9:00 am - August 30 @ 5:00 pm
With great regret we have had to pull our application for Ludwigsburg for our 65s, 70s and 75s men and we shall not be attending.
Decisions like this are not taken lightly. Dispensations for under-age that we used to ensure attending IGMHF are not given for the Euros. Some players we were expecting to be available for Thistles have been called into National. Some are just not available due to the dates – schools restarting for example.
Contacts were made outwith Thistles but with a decision having to be taken before 23rd May or we lose our large entry fee there was not enough confidence of calling in sufficient guests to go ahead.
