Semi Final

SPORTSCOVER VICS DEFEAT SA TO MAKE GRAND FINAL

Sportscover Victoria 3 def. South Australia 1 (half time 2-1)

Goals - Darcie Filliponi (VIC) 15m PC, Georgie Parker 17m PC, Tegan Purser (VIC) 27m FG, Michelle Tuhan 67m FG.

Sportscover Victoria has defeated SA to gain a finals birth against Queensland in the 2010 Australian Under 21 Women's Championship in Brisbane, QLD.

The Vics game into this fixture with plenty of confidence having beaten SA 5-1 in round 5 of the championship and it only took 15 minutes for Victoria's Darcie Filliponi to make the most of a penalty corner, giving the Vics and early lead.

However SA hit back almost immediately to level the scores at one a piece.

The game was in the balance for the remainder of the first half with both teams creating attacking chances and it was the Vics who took a narrow lead into half time when striker Tegan Purser scored in the 27th minute.

Victoria took on a defensive approach to the second half, desperate to hold onto their lead and when Michelle Tuhan put the Vics two goals up in the dying minuets the game was beyond doubt. The Victorian's running out eventual 3-1 winners.

Victoria will face the home side Queensland in Saturday's final after QLD won in extra time against NSW.

HOCKEY VICTORIA Sports Development Program to launch in 2011

Hockey Victoria — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:34:00 +0000

Hockey Victoria and Sports Education Development Australia (SEDA) have partnered up in a bid to develop the game of hockey here in Victoria. Not only will the new program in 2011 generate more participation in the game at a school level it will provide 16-19 year old with an opportunity to have hands on experiences in sport development, achieve VCE and set themselves up ready to launch into a lifetime involvement in sport and sports administration.

Sports Education Development Australia (SEDA) have forged partnerships and successful programs with the AFL, Cricket Victoria and the Football Federation of Victoria. The programs have seen a new look focus on school clinics in the above sports and energy generated into club competition.

Applications for positions in the 2011 program are now open. All current Under 17 players in year 10 interested in knowing more about the program are encouraged to visit SEDA’s website (link below) or call SEDA on (03) 9819 9669.

Operations Manager – Andrew Skillern explained the program would provide Hockey Victoria with an opportunity to build the number of school children exposed to the game in 2011 and will provide clubs with a direct marketing option for generating new members into their clubs.

‘The Football Federation of Victoria have set up a really successful program with SEDA working with the schools. I look forward to key outcomes the program will not only provide Hockey Victoria but the clubs and the individuals participating in the program.

U21 WOMEN’S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: SPORTSCOVER VICS DEFEAT WA TO CLAIM TOP SPOT

2010 Australian Under 21 Women's Championship

Western Australia v Sportscover Victoria
Wednesday 28 July, 2010
State Hockey Centre
Brisbane, Queensland

Round 7

SPORTSCOVER VICS FINISH ON TOP LEADING INTO THE FINALS

Western Australia 1 def. by Sportscover Victoria 2 (half time 1-1)

Goals - Tegan Boucher (VIC) 2m FG, Kate Denning (WA) 11m PC, Melissa Lester (VIC) 48m PC.

Sportscover Victoria have defeated WA to secure top ladder position leading into the finals of the 2010 Australian Under 21 Women's Championship in Brisbane, Queensland.

Resuming from a disappointing 3-0 loss against Queensland on Tuesday, the Vics started strongly in this affair and scored early through Tegan Boucher in the second minute.

However, it only took WA 10 minutes to level the scores when their captain Kate Denning converted a well-planned penalty corner.

With the scores locked at one a piece, both teams created plenty of attacking chances and it was Victoria that made the most of a penalty corner in the 48th minute to take a narrow lead.

WA continued to press but the Victorian defence was solid enough to hold off an attacking WA outfit late in the game.

"We're happy to qualify for the finals on top. Heavy legs and a few injuries but the rest day tomorrow will help" - Josh Burt (U21 Sportscover Victoria Coach)

Round 6

HOME SIDE TOO GOOD AGAINST VICS

Sportscover Victoria 0 def. by Queensland 3 (half time 0-1)

Goals - Ashlea Fey (QLD) 30m PC, Courtney Mackay (QLD) 56m PC, Jilli Dwyer (QLD) 65m FG.

Victoria has suffered a 3-0 loss to the home side (QLD) in the 2010 Australian U21 Women's Championship in Brisbane on Tuesday.

Both teams came into this match looking to cement top spot on the ladder but it was Queensland who looked the more likely, taking a 1-0 lead into half time through a late penalty corner conversation.

Victoria stepped it up a notch after the break but two goals in 10 minutes from the home side was enough to see them run out 3-0 winners.

Hockeyroos select 2010 World Cup squad

Hockey Victoria — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:02:00 +0000

The Hockeyroos will continue to blend youth with experience in their bid to win gold at the 2010 Women’s World Cup, with the Australian squad selected today.

Held from August 30 – September 11 in Rosario, Argentina, the Hockeyroos will be trying to win their third World Cup gold medal, with their last gold victory coming in 1998.

If they win gold at the tournament, it will be the first time in history that both the Kookaburras and Hockeyroos have won the World Cup in the same year.

In an indication of the youthful nature of the Hockeyroos squad, the likes of Teneal Attard, Madonna Blyth, Kate Hollywood and Kobie McGurk are already veterans of the team at only 24 and 25 years of age.

While the squad has experience in the likes of Nicole Arrold and Kim Walker, both who competed at the 2006 World Cup, Kate Jenner and Jayde Taylor have also been named in the squad despite both having played less than 10 games each.

Remarkably, both players only made their international debuts over a month ago during the Hockeyroos month long tour of Europe.

However both players impressed coach Frank Murray who said they both deserved their place in the team.

“Both Jenner and Taylor did well on the tour of Europe and earned their spots. Taylor brings a bit of intellect and composure to our defence and Jenner brings a bit of youthfulness and energy,” said Murray.

Further strengthening the squad, Murray said he had no hesitation in selecting Kate Hollywood and Casey Eastham who were in some doubt for selection due to recent injuries.

“Both players will be fine for the World Cup. Eastham has been very good at training and has overcome her knee injury, she is moving really well. Hollywood (broke her hand during the tour of Europe) is as fit as I have ever seen her. She is raring to go to the point where we are actually holding her back so she doesn’t over do it,” said Murray.

While the Hockeyroos would have been further strengthened by the likes of Stacia Joseph who is overcoming an osteitis pubis injury and Hope Munro who recently announced she was taking a break from international hockey, Murray said that the team’s recent form indicates they have every reason to be confident leading into the tournament.

“Our results over the past 12 months have been good in that we have beaten England, Germany and Argentina, so we know we are capable of beating all of these teams at the World Cup. We have only played the Netherlands once in the past year but we came away with the win so we will take confidence from that.

We first need to make it through the pool stage but barring any major injuries winning the gold medal or a medal is not beyond us,” said Murray.

A noteable inclusion is that of 18 year old Melbourne VCE student Georgia Nanscawen, who will continue to balance her duties with the Hockeyroos with her school studies.

Murray acknowledged the likes of other young players such as Fiona Boyce, Anna Flanagan and Emily Hurtz who were close to selection, indicating that they all had bright futures ahead of them.

“In some cases as it was with Emily Hurtz as a striker it was a case of experience versus youth. But we just felt that someone like Shelly Liddelow adds a bit more fire power to our penalty corners,” said Murray.

IMPORTANT INDOOR INFO: U21 & Open Indoor First Trial Cancelled

Hockey Victoria — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 23:30:00 +0000

Hockey Victoria, in consultation with the Indoor Advisory Group, has taken the decision to cancel the first trials for U21 and Open Men and Women, which were scheduled for this coming Sunday, August 1.

This decision has been made due to the extremely poor response for player and selector nominations across all teams.

It has been decided to extend nominations until 5pm, August 2, in the hope that more players, and quality players, will nominate.

If this proves not to be the case, Victoria will not be represented in the 2010 U21 and Open Nationals. It is worth noting that the National Championships form part of the selection process for the Australian Team, which will compete in the Indoor World Cup in Poland in February 2011.

The IAG will not endorse the selection of players who are not appropriately skilled, just to make up the numbers. This devalues playing for Victoria.
If we cannot put quality, competitive teams on the pitch, we will not be part of the tournament.

Please follow the link below to the 2010 Nomination Form, and if you have any questions, please call Jim Lekkas on 8379-4284.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused to those players who have already nominated, and had made plans around the Sunday trialling requirements.

The Vics continued to create plenty of chances after half time and stretched their lead out to three when Michelle Tuhan scored in the 58th minute.

Hawthorn Hockey Club – Milestone Games this weekend

Hockey Victoria — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 06:52:00 +0000

This weekend, two stalwarts of the Hawthorn Hockey Club play in milestone matches of the highest order. Sean Jenner - 200 State League 1 (SL1) matches and Charlie Tulloch - 150.

Jenner and Tulloch's combined 350 games in SL1 do not capture the games played in Hawthorn’s top team in the mid to late '90s when they started playing State League 3 (SL3) and State League 2 (SL2) hockey.

In the mid to late '90s, the pair worked together for five years to lead the Hawks from SL3 to SL1, picking up two premierships (SL3 and SL2) along the way.

Since 2000, these lads have gone on to play a further 350 games (combined) in SL1, and were a massive part of the club’s recent success.

They played a big part in bringing Hawthorn to the top of the Victorian club ladder and cemented Hawthorn’s place in the top 3 on the SL1 every year between 2003 and 2008, the year in which Hawthorn won the SL1 Premiership.

Sean has played in 15 SL1 finals with the Hawks and Charlie has played in 13. Charlie also won the club best and fairest award in 1998 and 1999.

These two have been a long-time feature of our top side, playing positive and exciting hockey.

Hawthorn will face Altona at 5:00PM on Sunday the 25th of July at the State Netball Hockey Centre.

SPORTSCOVER VICS SUFFER DISAPPOINTING LOSS

Tasmania 3 def. Victoria 1.

Victoria has suffered a disappointing 3-1 loss against Tasmania in round 2 of the 2010 Australian Under 21 Women's Championship in Brisbane on Wednesday.

Victoria came into this game following a round 1 victory against ACT but it was Tasmania who looked the stronger team early in this clash, gaining the early advantage.

Victoria should have equalised shortly after but two disappointing and costly errors allowed Tasmania to build a 3-1 lead.

It's back to the drawing board for Victoria as they prepare to face NSW at 11:00AM local time in Brisbane on Thursday.

Both Wansie (David Wansbrough) and Rechelle have worked extensively on hockey broadcasts. Wansie was the expert with Christo (David Christison) in Melbourne for the 2006 Commonwealth Games, the 2008 Beijing Olympics and, more recently, the 2009 Champions Trophy.

Rechelle was also part of the commentary team in Beijing and at the Athens Olympic Games.

VICS BEGIN WITH WIN

Victoria 3 def. Australian Capital Territory 0

Goals - Michelle Tuhan (VIC) 7m FG, 9m FG, Tegan Purser (VIC) 11m FG.

Three early goals in 10 minutes was enough to see Sportscover Victoria open their account with a 3-0 win over ACT in the 2010 Australian Under 21 Women's Championship in Brisbane on Tuesday.

The game was evenly matched throughout but it was difficult for ACT to find a way back after Victoria scored thrice in quick succession early in the game.

"The result sounds good but we had a purple patch and slotted three quick goals early in the first half. We need to be better tomorrow (Wednesday) if we want to beat Tassie", said Josh Burt - Victoria's coach.

Victoria will play Tasmania today at 11:00AM.
