In 2008, Mark Matheson grew frustrated with the lack of visibility of masters hockey results in the Sydney competition. Taking matters into his own hands, My Turf was born, focusing on publishing the weekly results for the Sydney Masters Hockey competition.

When it became apparent that there was interest in what Mark was doing, he was invited to join the board of Sydney Masters Hockey where his role included fixing the results publication, effectively ending the purpose of My Turf.

As a result of the change in circumstances, My Turf reverted to being a pure blog website, blogging about topical issues relevant to masters hockey in Australia.

The website details were expanded to where Mark keeps detailed match statistics in the dugout and publishes match reports for every match his team plays.

As part of his promotion to a position within the Hockey Australia Masters team management system, Mark also re-tasked another website, National Masters Hockey to be dedicated to the Australian Over 35's Men's Masters Hockey team.

Why not check that out as well.

My Turf has been enhanced to the point where each team Mark manages gets their own section, broken down into: -

• Squad - Players and Officials
• Summary - Championship and Match Summaries
• Media - Photos and Videos
• Documents - Documents and Forms
