Taking place from 27 October to 16 November in Yunfu, Guangzhou, the tournament brought together high-performance provincial teams from across China. Cookie’s selection reflects both her professional calibre and the growing recognition of Singapore’s umpiring standards on the international stage.

In sharing her experience, Cookie expressed deep appreciation for the opportunity:

“Officiating at the 15th China National Games as a neutral umpire was a tremendous honour. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a prestigious tournament and to work alongside a committed team of umpires, technical officials, and the organising committee.” — Cookie Tan

Throughout the competition, Cookie upheld the highest standards of officiating, demonstrating composure, fairness, and a deep understanding of the game. Her performance exemplifies the professionalism and dedication that Singapore officials bring to international events.

The Singapore Hockey Federation extends its warmest congratulations to Cookie for her exemplary representation of Singapore on this major stage. Her continued commitment contributes significantly to strengthening our umpiring ecosystem and inspiring the next generation of officials.
