Congratulations Glee A-Grade Women's Hockey Team

A special mention needs to definitely go to Glee A-Grade Hockey Team, who took out their 12th CONSECUTIVE Far North Coast Premiership. This is an amazing achievement, a record which may never be surpassed, by any club.

The ladies got a hard fought 2-0 win over Northern Star, which coach Rhonda Mathers described as a tough game. It would be fair to say that the girls won't be stopping at 12 and will make another strong showing next year. In saying that over the last 12 years Glee has set a high level of Hockey, and it won't be long before the other Clubs start catching up.

Glee has set the ball rolling for an amazingly strong women's competition and I can't wait to see what is produced in the coming years.

Sorry, this is a shot from earlier in the year (struggled to find any grand final shots)

Congratulations Northern Star Mens A-Grade Hockey Team

Congratulations to Northern Star Men's A-Grade Hockey team for taking out the JH Williams Shield over Waratahs and then clinching the Far North Coast Hockey A-Grade Men's Premiership over Coraki in the Grand Final last Saturday. Talk about a dominating season!

With a 2-0 win over Coraki, their rivals and 'arch nemesis', the guys capped off an amazing season which saw them dominate not only the Far North Coast but also Murwillumbah and the Gold Coast (not playing in the Brisbane) Competitions.

Not only did the A-Graders have a win, the Reserve Grade side (I was supposed to play this game, my bad) had a strong finish to their season with a 3-0 win over East Lismore in the Grand Final. And very much like their Grafton brethren, the festivities ran all night and even ended at one of the Star player's houses at the gorgeous hour of 4am.

Congratulations guys and well done to all teams whom made it to Grand Final in any sport in any area. It is the culmination of a lot of hard work and even blood sometimes. Stay tuned for plenty of information about how to get back into gear with off-season and pre-season for the up coming season (yeah that's right I'm ready to rumble).

All the best,

PK

 

Congratulations Barbarians A-Grade Hockey Team 2012

Quick Shout out to the Barbarians Hockey A-Grade Men's Hockey Team for their solid win in the Grafton Hockey Grand Final on Saturday September 15th 2012. It was their second premiership in as many years, and it was easily one of the toughest games of Hockey I have ever played in.

With a 3-0 scoreline (a scoreline which I didn't feel justified the difference between the two teams), remarkably the scores were locked up 0-0 for the majority of the game.

The boys deserve their win and were one of the most consistent teams all season. Their finals experience (especially Grand Final) and their mental toughness was probably the difference in the end. And they certainly won the after party too, with big hitters like Jack Ryder and Nutsy Inmon leading the charge.

Once again Congratulations on the well deserved win guys.
