Waverley Hockey Club will be hosting a Club Day this Saturday (20th of June) with a great day down at the club.

Kicking off at 12:30 the day will start with Men’s Pennant A who are sitting third on the ladder and looking for a win to bridge the gap from the rest of the league.

Following will be the Men’s State League 1 who will showcase at 2:00pm against TEM. SL1 Men also sit third on the ladder looking to improve and cement themselves in the top two a the halfway point in the season.

The Women’s SL1 will showcase at 3:30pm against newly promoted Albury. The women will be striving for a strong win against the promotee’s.

Finally the Women’s Pennant A will host TEM at 5:00pm and will be in search of a win to crack the top 4 position.

All club members are invited to attend the day to enjoy a feed, some good company and some high level hockey viewing on offer!

It would be great to see some juniors and parents down for the games in our 50th year as a club!

Alana, goalkeeper from the women’s Pennant A team is currently o/s as a member of the Australian Schoolgirls team. Following matches in Singapore, the team will play a series of games in England.

I’m sure we all wish Alana well in this adventure and look forward to having her write about it on her return.

Well done Alana and hope you have a sucessful trip

Please find below the Canteen Roster for the remainder of Season 2009. The Roster has been drawn up on a ‘convenience’ basis, ie. you play then stick around afterwards to help out. At least 2 people from each team are required, 1 person to man the bar and the other the canteen.

Only teams are stated for specific times, its up to each team to generate a roster around these times. Thanks in advance for helping out around the club. It’s not a huge commitment but one that is needed to ensure the club has success off the field as well as on.

Cheers Trav.

Hi All -

Well last night we begun our campaign for season 2009 – and those that were there met out SL1 coach, Andrew Steele (Smokey).

Thank you for all of those who made the effore to come down last night, it was nice to see all the same smiling face and in particular nice to see some new faces down at the club. A special thank you to Stacia Joseph who came down to run the session, it was nice of you to offer us some encouraging words while we are slogging it out and you are standing and watching us!!! Ha ha

Smokey will not be there for the next week as he is venturing off into the sea on a sailing boat – doesn’t really sound like a lot of fun to me. But upon his return he is really looking forward to getting to know all of us…and please make him welcome in our true Waverley style!!! Good luck Smokey

For those of you that can make it on Saturday some of the girls will be meeting down at the club at 9am for a 30-40 min jog. If you cannot make it please ensure that you are going for a run on your own, Smokey has already made it very clear that one of his main priorities will be having fit players in his squad. So if you are aspiring to play SL1 this year, which you all should be then get running girls!!!

Next Wednesday 14th Jan we will be meeting at the club at 6.30pm – please be there on time so we can get going straight away. Those who are interested somr of us will be meeting at 6.15pm to do the Huntingdale Road run before, all welcome!

See you next Wednesday

Chook

Please note that the women’s unit will be beginning pre-season training on Wednesday 7th January at 6.30pm, meeting at the hockey club.

We will have a good variety of running, games, swimming and beach fun through out the sessions. Wednesday nights will be at varied locations around the Waverley area and Saturday mornings we will be branching out for a bit of change. Locations such as, the Tan, Albert Park, Brighton Beach, Thousand Steps and Carlton Gardens.

All welcome! Hope to see you there

In what plans to be a epic battle the Waverley is playing host to Camberwell on Saturday the 30th of August at the Waverley Hockey Ground.

For the men, this game is shaping up to be a season defining moment for both MSL1 clubs as they grasp for a place in the top 4 come finals. Both have been a powerhouse of the competition in the past and are evenly matched coming into the fray after a draw the last time they met at Matlock in Round 9.

On the other hand although the Waverley Women’s may be out of the running it could be an upset that sends the surprise package that is Camberwell WSL1 out of the 4 if results do not fall there way in the coming weeks.

With the Olympics over a return of players for the game is on the cards and with this tantalising hockey in mind, an event has been organised which is the:

– Waverley Wheel of Fortune (Major Prizes on flyer)
– Inaugrual SL1 Stall Gift
– Happy Hour (3-4pm)
– Plenty of giveaways from our sponsors Red Bull & Nutrient Water
– Great Hockey!

150 tickets are being sold for the day for $25 each ($20 earlybirds)
Tickets include:

With the day starting at 12:30am and continuing on into the night there is plenty of time to come on down and enjoy the festivities.

We are hoping for a large turnout by the entire club in an effort to spur our top teams in their last round and into the finals!!

To buy tickets please fill out THIS FORM and we will contact you or you can call my mobile (on flyer).

It wasn’t looking all that rosy for Women’s PA heading into Round 7. No wins on the board and up against top of the ladder TEM
Waverley came out all guns blazing and dominated for much of the match. After dropping several close games in the final minutes the crowd was nervous right up to the final whistle.
Tash and Tiller scored the goals and our defence, lead by a great performance from Paula and Jo, kept TEM scoreless for a 2-0 win.
This win showed how well we can play and hopefully with the pressure on the team and coach relaxed a little bit we can continue to get reward from our efforts.
Well done girls.
