Auditor’s Independence Declaration For the year ended 31 October 2007 In relation to my audit of the financial report of Glebe District Hockey Club Incorporated for the financial year ended 31 October 2007, to the best of my knowledge and belief there have been no contraventions of the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 or any applicable code or professional conduct.

Men’s Senior Grades Captain’s Report I would like to start off my report by thanking my fellow club captain Graeme Brown. Graeme and I spent many hours during the year trying to select, reselect and re- reselect the teams each week, due to so many players being out, or pulling out late. Also, I would like to thank both the 1 st and 2 nd grade coaches Geoff Paterson and Rob McDonald for their efforts during the year along with Peter Busch in his role as captain/coach of 3rds. But, let’s not forget our team managers John Nilan and Steve Howard (1 st and 2 nd grade). Your efforts were greatly appreciated by all. Special mention must also go to Harry Wark who each week starred as ball boy for our 1 st grade side. Thank you H. We certainly are facing many challenges with the way the competition is structured and the amount of players who are out each week. It seems the days of players not missing a game, except for representative duty, are gone. Each week we have anywhere between 10-20 players out and this makes it difficult for all concerned to get the best performance from each team. Combinations are hard to build along with a sense of this is “my team” when so many players continually filter through several sides during the season. I’m sure we are not the only club, but, I know it certainly impacts on our results and makes it very difficult at finals time. Whether we need in the future to look at squads of 13/14 per team, I don’t know. But it is certainly something we might have to consider. At least this way, if people are out we are not disadvantaging the whole club with wholesale changes week to week. This would also allow managers and coaches to manage their teams better and have some continuity. The old chestnut of course is that players want to play a full game – and don’t we all - but times change and maybe this will solve some of the problems we currently experience. That said, the year was another great one despite not winning a senior title. Players again doubled-up, trained hard and gave their all on game day and that’s all we can ask. 1sts won the minor premiership, the Allan Yates Cup and all teams except for 2 nd grade made the semis. That in itself is a great result. In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all club members a merry Christmas and a happy new year in 2008.
