Summer Hockey is Great Fun.
One of the great things about summer hockey is the chance to play in the same team with friends and family. There is a more social focus, and there are no sheep stations up for grabs. This makes summer hockey a good time for new players to try the game out. It’s also a good opportunity for ex-players to return to the field and rediscover their skills and enjoyment of hockey. The smaller field and higher player density contributes to learning both skills and strategies which can be carried on to future participation.
This week’s summer hockey matches did not include any Junior games because of the Melbourne Cup Public Holiday. There were some great efforts from our senior teams, with the Masters and Friday Family matches again providing great opportunities for new players.
Senior Mixed
Newtown Strikers vs Grammar 8-4
Flame On vs Gators 15-5
Newtown Spirit vs The Jag Bags 7-6
Waaah Spaced vs Plainers 8-4
Masters Mixed
Newtown Strikers vs Newtown Spirit 6-1. Great play by Rohan, Ian and Claire for Strikers, with Spirit well served by Chris, Marion and Stewart.
Friday Family
Supersonics vs Saints 5-0 (forfeit)
Rockets vs Bellarine 3-7. Excellent efforts from Will and Ollie, with Charlotte sneaking in a goal again. Great running the whole game by Noah.
New players are welcome to join our teams, with room for more players in the U17, Kookas Junior and Masters Mixed teams.
