on and the girls came away with many memories
and lessons learnt on and off the field.
We had many injuries throughout the season, but the
team never seemed to give up and they persevered
through the rocky patches and went from strength
to strength. They showed great dedication and passion for the game and made not only me, but VP,
proud as well. They might not have come out with
the results on paper, but on and off the field, as their
coach I can definitely say I was so privileged to
have coached a great bunch of ladies, who showed
me that even through tough times there is always
going to be reason to laugh.
I will miss the girls but I believe there is plenty of
talent and if they keep playing and training hard
they will find their end goal. Thank you to the team
for making it a memorable year.

The u16B team was made up of both under 16B and
C players this season, as we did not have enough
players for a full U16C team. A bunch of very keen,
very energetic players embarked on what would
prove to be a very memorable season. Although we
did not come away victorious too often, we showed
everyone what the true meaning of the “spirit of a
true winner” is. The girls played their hearts out in
every game and made me a very proud coach. The
dedication and determination of the team showed
over and over again and they returned to practice
each Monday with a smile, ready for the new week
with new challenges. I wish my whole team well
for next year and hope what they have learnt will
help them in their future hockey seasons.
