All plans for Fiji to take part in the Australia Hockey Festival have been put on hold.

Children Hockey Development officer, Tai Smith has been on a three month bereavement leave and reveals that once she returns from leave then she will start work on the schedule as nothing is being done at the moment.

Fiji is expected to field both junior girls and boys team after finalising a 24 member team from the national trials last year.

The 11th Australian Hockey Festival will be held in Sydney from the 19th to the 25th of July.
