Recently at the IHQ meeting (21.11.07), it was decided to revert back to the Winter Season.

Due to this decision, the current Summer Season will conclude for Seniors on or around the 16th December and the Juniors on the 9th December. These dates are the last of the Summer Season games being played on Sunday afternoon and evenings. A break will then held for Christmas.

The new season will commence on the 1st March 2008. The only hockey being conducted during the months of January and February for the Southern Stars will be the Sunday mornings for Junior and Seniors and the Senior Social games on Monday nights.
