James split the award with Greensborough’s Casey Hammond. ‘JK’ scored 9 goals in as many matches, a brilliant effort.

James Munro also made the team, playing at his first national championships.

Victoria placed second, losing the final to NSW 5-3. The Vics were only beaten by NSW and won all other matches.

A large crowd had turned out to see the matches, the first to be played on the new Blue Surface with a Yellow Kookaburra hockey ball- the same combination that will be seen in the upcoming London 2012 Olympic Games. Whilst the Men’s State League One managed to pull out a tough victory, unfortunately Waverley were unable to claim the Cup, with Camberwell coming out on top overall.

On Easter Weekend Chris was selected in the Asian Zone Championships Team to go to Hong Kong. The Team will be looking for a Top 12 finish so Australia Qualifier for the World Championships in 2013 in Las Vegas!!

We’re playing at 9pm @ Greensborough, wear white tops and pale blue socks – get there by 8-30pm. If you want to play but can’t this week – contact Anne-Marie Smith – further details can be found on the New Players page. If you have friends that are interested – and you can start playing hockey now, there are no boundaries – please contact Anne-Marie.

Don’t worry if you miss training – there is plenty of hockey to come on the weekend!

Also – if you have a small business – feel free to place your brochure or business card there – we all are sometimes looking for a service such as an electrician, vet, landscape gardener etc. and if we can support our fellow team members in either recommending or using their business the better off we are as a club.

Call it the “old Panthers network”! (OPN for short)

The Waverley Hook in2 Hockey (Minkey) program is for kids who are new to hockey (ages 4 – 12) and runs every Saturday morning during the season (except school holidays) from 10.45am to 12.15pm at the Club rooms. Minkey season dates are below.

 U17 players will provide weekly support, but we need the Senior group to provide the consistency that parents expect us to provide in a head coach for each group – someone who can follow the weekly program setup by Laura our Minkey Co-ordinator, get to know the kids and provide week to week consistency on skills development.

 It is a really fun and easy job – teaching the basic skills of hockey to kids who are eager to learn!

 Please seriously consider helping out at Hook in2 Hockey…. After all these kids are the future of our Club!!

 Please let Ames / Don know if you are willing to support the program by Monday 16^th April.
