For several years the Queensland Academy age-group hockey teams have travelled to Hawke's Bay to play their counterparts.
That may change in 2015 if the best-laid plans come to fruition as the the Bay academy looks to reciprocate by taking under-15 boys' and girls' teams across to Queensland.
"A meeting's on the agenda with the Queensland coaching staff to go there but we don't just want to go there, but take the right teams in two years," says Bay academy and reps manager Dean Hulls as they prepare to host the Queenslanders this week in Napier.
The CCR Queensland Challenge Cup will be played at the Hawke's Bay Hockey Stadium, Park Island, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
"When we go to Queensland we want to make sure we have quality so we have pretty good under-13 boys and girls and they'll have pretty hard games," Hulls says.
