2013 has given us some great highlights, with excellent performances by all teams, especially the Division 1 Men’s and Women’s teams. It has been very pleasing to have 15 new members join our senior teams, and even more pleasing to have 16 players take a step up from junior to senior teams. The commitment and effort of these players has contributed to a high standard of play, and we look forward to continuing success and enjoyment.

So let’s get together and celebrate the end of the season and all these great efforts, and the fun we have had in playing such a great sport with great team mates.

All senior players are invited to attend the 2013 Senior Presentation Night on Friday September 20. Family and friends are welcome too.

What’s your guess? Who’s going to win the trophies? Are you up for a games badge?

Every player will receive a team photo so make sure you are there to collect yours.

RSVP by September 16 to Claire Barnes

Congratulations to David Wyld who has played his 300th senior game for the Newtown City Hockey Club.

David Wyld – 300 Senior Games

David joined the Club in 1997, adding some welcome young legs to our senior teams. Since then David has contributed a great deal to the Newtown City Hockey Club, as a committed player, and a coach of both junior and senior men’s and women’s teams. David has also been active in administration, as Secretary and as part of the Publicity committee.

Great work David. Thanks for your effort and your support for the Newtown City Hockey Club.

Congratulations to Ashley Shaw who this weekend played his 350th senior game for the Newtown City Hockey Club.

Ash also has 101 junior games for the Club, having begun his career with the Club as an 8 year old.

A nice coincidence that it was a Newtown Maroon vs Newtown White game for the occasion.

Well done Ash. Hope you are here for many more games yet.

Ash is one of the relatively small group of members who have played more than 300 games for the Newtown City Hockey Club.

300+ Games Members

A series of Come and Try Hockey clinics will be held at Lloyd Reserve, Windsor Rd, Newtown, at 4.30 pm on Wednesday August 28, September 4 and September 11 .

The free clinics offer boys and girls aged from 4 to 14 years the opportunity to pick up a hockey stick and see what the sport of hockey is all about. And to see how much fun it is – a great game for those who like to work as part of a team, where everyone is encouraged to do their best.

Participants don’t need to bring anything – hockey sticks will be supplied for use during the clinic.

The winter hockey season is nearly finished  but the summer season will soon be here, and we welcome new players for our teams in the summer competition.

And if the clinic inspires some young boy or girl to go on and join one of our teams – maybe we will have discovered a future Australian hockey player – a Kookaburra or a Hockeyroo.

Pre-registration not required – just come along and join in.
