New Delhi: India are set to host the 12th edition of the Men's Hockey World Cup at Bhubaneswar in the months of November and December this year, and the home advantage factor is one of the many reasons the Indians are being tagged as favourites ahead of the event.

Former Australia coach Ric Charlesworth believes the Indian men’s hockey team’s performance at the Asian Games, where they finished third, was an aberration. Charlesworth, who had a short stint in India as the technical director, added that constant chopping and changing of coaches has played a part in India failing to win big medals.

It is with the greatest regret that I have to inform you all of the death of Alistair Ogilvie. He died peacefully after a short illness on Wednesday 10th October 2018.

Alistair was a very valuable member of the Organising Committee for the Grand Masters European Championships last year. His willingness to accept any role asked of him, his attention to detail and foresight in organisation was invaluable and much appreciated. Many of you will know what a delight he was to play with not just in the international team but also in the Thistles. His subtlety, sense of position, eye for a gap and speed of reaction will be sadly missed. More importantly, we have all lost a friend and colleague.

I wish to inform those members who knew Alistair that his funeral is on Monday 22nd October at 11.45am at the South Lanarkshire Crematorium, 31, Sydes Brae, Blantyre G72 0TL. Thereafter the Strathaven Hotel. Family flowers only. There will be a collection in aid of the Myeloma Society.
