Hockey is played on a level field of turf similar to a football or lacrosse field. There are eleven players on each team, thus there are twenty-two players on the field at one time. Each player is equipped with a stick with a curved head. A cricket ball is used. The eleven players are divided into groups: forwards, halfbacks, fullbacks and goalkeeper. Each group calls for a different type of player. The teams line up in the center of the field. The forwards are the attackers, whose duty it is to advance the ball into their opponents’ territory and score a goal. The halfbacks assist the forwards in attacking and the fullbacks and goal keeper in defending their own goal. The umpire blows the whistle and the game begins with the two center forwards bullying. The ball is placed in the middle of center line, the center forwards stand with one foot on each side of center line directly opposite each other, right shoulder toward their own goal. After the bully is completed and the ball hit out, then play commences. The forwards of the team in possession of the ball rush it down toward the opponents’ goal and try to shoot a goal while the opposing defense tries to prevent any score. Each time the ball is fairly hit over the goal line, one point is made by team scoring goal. Two halves, length of which is agreed upon by captains, are played. The team scoring the greatest number of goals by the end of second half wins the game
