More Active Leisure Contracts details

Poligras Olympia 2008 from Sports Technology International has been chosen as the synthetic turf to be used at all of the hockey venues for the 2008 Olympic Games.

The surface will be laid at the two competition pitches at the main Olympic Hockey Stadium, plus the three training pitches at the Olympic Training Venue, the former venue of the 1990 Asian Games.

The 'Good Luck Beijing 2007 Invitational Hockey Tournament', organised by the Chinese Hockey Association and the Beijing Municipal People's Government, started at the National Olympic Hockey Centre marking the one year anniversary until the Beijing Olympics.

The tournament, which ran between 8-13 August, featured eight men's and eight women's games on the brand new Poligras Olympia 2008 installation.

Poligras has been recently installed in the UK by Kent-based contractors Active Leisure Contracts at various sporting arenas, most notably Worcester Warriors new training academy; London Wasps; and Dartford FC’s new training facility.
