With 1 round of matches to play for all 3 mens teams, its looking likely our top side will finish the year as minor premeirs. The team has been playing well and fully deserves its spot at the top, with some hockey of the highest quality being played. The 4-0 win over Maitland was an excellent result with the entire team putting in a solid effort to get the win. Jeremy in goals was inspirational, some of his saves were first class and his efforts motivated the team thats for sure. Stocksy and Jamie got the team on the board early, up 2-0 after 10 minutes makes life a little bit easier thats for sure. In the secodn half Jamie got his 2nd and when Stuey Churchill deflected in a PC it was game over. 4th Grade implodedĀ a bit in the second half of thier clash with Maitland. 1-0 down at the break, the team conceeded 3 goals in a 10 minute period to end thier winning streak and it now is unlikely but still possible the team can make the finals. A win this weekend v defending premeirs Tigers and a Wests loss to Maitland would see the team sneak into 4th spot, but its a tall ask. 6th Grade turned it on with a 4-4 draw against top 4 side Wests. Goals to Jason, No-e, rosco and White Lightning. Lets all get down to the hockey fields this Sunday and cheer on all 3 teams in the last round of the competition ahead of finals time. |

Another big weekend for the mens club. All teams are firing in the back end of the season. 3rd Grade continued on thier Minor Premiership push with a surprisngly hard fought 3-1 victory over University. Missing several key players, the team relied heavily on 4th Graders to fill the void but the lads didnt dissappoint, everyone stepping it up to ensure the team got the points. The Germ got the first goal after Baxter flung one across the face of goal. Then a few near misses and a post saw the team going unrewarded for their dominance. As is always the case, Uni had 1 opportunity late in the half and they took it well to draw it up. Second half though was all Hornets. Jamee worked tirelessly down the left flank and when he found Chris unmarked inside the D it was 2-1. Then Baxter pounced on a mistrap by the Uni defender to slot a ball home from a tight angle for the 3-1 win. 4th Grade continue their run at a top 4 spot with 2 wins on the weekend. Saturday the team accounted for Souths 3-2, a game that shouldnt of been so close. Goals to Chris Southall, Scott Rainbow and Josh Barnett got the team over the line. Then the side backed up Sunday to defeat University. It was 0-0 at half time, but the secodn half saw the Hornets be more aggressive and they found the net 4 times with 2 goals each to Mr President and Chris 'Son of Lightning' Southall. The team now just sits 2 points behind 3rd and 4th. 6th Grade almost made it a perfect round when they took on 6th placed Cardiff. A wonderful solo goal to Daniel McDonald just befiore half time saw the team leading 1-0 but Cardiff scored late via the penalty spot to get the draw. |

Wow what a week for our junior teams playing in the Maitland Competition. The U10 Grand Final saw both our teams competing. The Cougars were unbeaten and the Wildcats had gone on a winning run in the secodn half of the season to sneak into the semi finals, and then blitz thier opponents to qualify for the Grand Final. In a game that was exciting for the players and the spectators, it was the Cougars who prevailed to claim the title. Both teams deserve huge applause for their achievements and its a massive boost for the club to so many talented kids playing our sport. Excellent job kids, stay tuned for details about Presentation Day. The U13's secured 4th spot with a 4-2 win over Maitland Joeys. Whoever won this game qualified for the finals, so it was quite a tense affair in the first half but the Cougars stepped it up in the second half and went on to register the win. They will play Norths in thier Semi Final Wednesday night. Good luck! |
