Senior Hockey Team Presentations

The 2022 season for our senior hockey teams saw improved performances across the board and some very pleasing results. Not least of these was the miracle ‘come from behind’ win by the Newtown Falcons men in the Geelong Hockey Association Division 2 competition.

The enthusiasm and positive outlook provided the base for a very enjoyable end of season function to recognise and reward the teams and their efforts. With most players in attendance and encouraged by family and supporters, the evening was a mix of great food, plenty of chatter and laughter, season photos, games badges, merit awards, new players awards and team trophies.

Congratulations to all who were involved in the 2022 season, as players, officials and supporters, and congratulations to all the recipients of awards, games badges and trophies.
