Following confirmation of a second Covid-19 lockdown , England Hockey has announced the suspension of the sport until at least December 4. Some elite sport – such as Premier League football – will be allowed to continue, but all grassroots sport is expected to be shut down for the duration. Picture: Mark BullimoreEngland Hockey said in a statement: "England Hockey are disappointed to have to confirm that the national lockdown announced on Saturday will mean no club or community hockey from November 5 until after December 4 at the earliest. "At England Hockey we continue to receive overwhelming feedback from participants that the physical and mental health benefits of being able to take part are significant. "England Hockey will communicate with all clubs, England Hockey League teams and EH Championships entrants as well as Player Pathway organisers in the coming days."
