On behalf of James Knee, Freddy Litzinger, Simon Preston, Steven Jarvis, Mat Steffans, Daniel Brennan, Tim Wishusen, Drew Ashton, & Tom Scott in goals thanks to all those Waverley persons from the Junior and Senior sections that made the journey out to Monash support us 8.30PM on a Sunday evening. It was really great to match the laudable support TEM also had. I know there would have been even more support if it had not clashed with the preseason camp.

We would also like to take the opportunity to thank our Major Sponsor “The Skin Institute” & Mr Keith Mutimer – http://www.theskininstitute.com.au/index.htm

The score was 4-3 and was a tightly fought Waverley win against a young, enthusiastic & skilful TEM team coached by Steve Willer and managed by Craig Seccul who were worthy opponents.

It was a game of contrasting styles with Waverley coming out on top after finishing top of the table after the round games with each team having a win against each other during the season.

Waverley’s German import Freddy Litzinger scored 2 goals including one beautiful goal from a flick roofed German style high in the right hand corner of the net and a great indoor deflection goal. Every reliable Daniel Brennan playing in the centre scored two goals from corners both low along the deck.

It was a great team effort but the defence of Simon Preston, Steve Jarvis with Tom Scott in goals performance with standing attacking move after attacking move that TEM constantly mounted was a standout. Daniel Brennan and Tim Wishusen’s efforts in midfield was also note worthy. As with all team efforts strong performances from “Veteran” Drew Ashton and our club junior champs James Knee & Mat Steffans signals the future is looking strong for future performances of Waverley Indoor hockey.

All us Indoor boys hope that that is ANOTHER positive in the quest for Waverley to dominate hockey at all levels in 2010.

Daniel Brennan and I are very interested in speaking to people during the year about their interest in playing, coaching and managing Indoor for both Mens / Womens – Senior and Juniors.

We want to build on this great Indoor year we have had.
