Congratulations to Luke Doerner and the Kookaburras on winning the World Cup in Delhi, India. It’s the 2nd time Australia has won the world cup and a fantastic achievement by the playing group.

Waverley’s own Luke Doerner played an integral part of the tournament and scored the winning goal with a cracking flick in to the bottom left hand corner to give the Kookaburras the lead. Capping off a successful tournament for Luke, he also managed to snag best a field in the final and scored himself a motorbike courtesy of the major tournament sponsor Honda.

Congratulations Luke, you’ve done the club proud. We look forward to seeing your medal when your back in town.

On a beautiful Sunday morning, many people ventured down to the club to help out with the yearly clean of the rooms and the ground. Although many still slighty under the weather from celebrating the Kookaburras win last night, people enthusiastically went about the big tasks of getting the club ready for the coming season.

A quick thanks for those that turned up and the power of work that was done. With the numbers down a bit on last year, we managed to power through the jobs listed and get the club looking ’shiny’ again.

Thanks to the following people who turned up (if I missed your name email me and I’ll add you to the list) I and the members of the house committee appreciate your efforts today, the club looks fantastic.

Cheers
House Committee:

Beth Merkus, Alan Ballard,  Shannon Davey, Travis Brooks, Tim Wishchusen and Jason Lyon

We are looking to add a rugby style top to the uniform and are asking members to vote on the designs. There are four options available, have a look at the images below (design 1 to 4 from top to bottom, back view on left & front view on right) and then cast your vote. Pricing and ordering will be announced once the design has been selected.

Minkey aims to introduce children of all ages to the game of hockey.

The programme is designed to introduce children to the skills involved in field hockey in a safe, non-competitive atmosphere with the emphasis on involvement and fun. The children progress through skill levels gaining awards / certificates as they progress.  The program runs on smaller sized field (than competition hockey) and consists of skill based activities and a simplified game.

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.

John – “Hoops”
