The tournament, which will see both men and women’s provincial teams battle it out for honours, is organised by the Hockey Association of Zimbabwe.

Harare Hockey Board secretary Mandla Matare confirmed the tournament although some provinces have only confirmed their participation verbally.

“At the moment we are still waiting to hear from teams, but so far the Midlands, Matabeleland and Masvingo provinces have only said they would be participating though they have not said it on paper.

“The venue is ready and now all we need is to get confirmation from provinces. The organising committee is now in place and we look forward to a successful event,” Matare said.

Inter-provincial competitions are used to identify players to do duty for national teams in international events.
