Please notify your captain if you are unable to make the game as soon as possible.

Since taking over the reigns of the Men’s club, Zac has been mapping out a fitness program that will see the entire club, from State League down to the Metro teams, in tip-top conditioning come season 2010.

From the Waverley Hockey Club to the Shrine in the city, the numerous locations of the sessions have kept a freshness about the sessions as well as adding in different ‘terrain’ challenges that the boys have to conquer in order to complete the sessions.

Whilst the sessions have been physically and mentally challenging, it has been fantastic to see the numbers that have been consistently rolling up each week and the enthusiasm that each individual brings to training.  Each session has seen every team throughout the club represented which has been great for building camaraderie throughout the unit, something that we’ve let slip over the past few years.  The way the entire group is pushing each other to get through the ‘tough’ parts of the session has been great to see. The high 5’s and pats on the back irrespective of who you are and what grade you’re playing has seen everyone come together as one.

With a couple of weeks leading up to Christmas the boys are keen to continue finish the year on a good note, pushing themselves to the limit.

If you want to come down to any session, everyone is welcome irrespective of your ability. Each session is designed to challenge you at the level that you are currently at irrespective if it is your first or 10th session, all welcome.   Just send me an email (tnbrooks@gmail.com) and I’ll pass on the info so that you know when and where to be to join in the sessions.

Cheers

Brooksy

I would like to pass on special thanks to the following people whom contributed enormously over the last couple of months to make this such a fabulous night. Don Trewin for MC on the night, Roger Andrews for last minute printing deadlines, Beth Merkus for guidance and feedback to the Club Committee, Ian Hocking for the Club’s determination to pursue this event, Di Robbie & Antony Green for co-ordinating the Teams of the First 50, Sue-Anne Hocking for artwork, Drew Ashton for the presentations and especially the Organising Committee of Drew, Ant, Rach, Jess and Bronwyn for delivering a great night. – Brian Maddock

ps. Do you have any great photos of the night? Please forward to waverleyhc@live.com for inclusion in the Waverley Hockey Club 1959-2009 Signature Frame.

The second half saw the game open up and Old Camberwell started to play a longer game and put more pressure on the panthers midfield and defense. Jason Janes and Rob Moore competed well to hold out the onslaught late in the game as Old Camberwell hit 2 goals to 1 in the second half.

Robbie Moore who was sensational on the dance floor at Albury transfered some of the fancy foot work onto the right side of the field producing many forward thrusts throughout the whole game.

In the end the boys were happy to take the points but a lot of work needs to be done.

Score: 3-2

Best: Moore, Robinson, Skillern, Janes

Goals: Dobbins (21), Cox (24), Skillern (43)

Next week will be Daniel ‘can drum, I’m in a rock band’ Dobbins 300th at home at Waverley all members are welcome to come down to watch the match V’s Doncaster and stick around for a drink at the club. Game starts at 5pm Saturday.

1:00 Game Time
3:00 The Bang Bang Brown 20/100
