Junior Convenor’s <strong>Report</strong><br />
It is with much pleasure that I present the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Junior <strong>Report</strong> in this, the <strong>Club</strong>’s 77 th<br />
year.<br />
It was a very early start this year in March, so was difficult to field players and coaches for the<br />
first few games. We fielded 7 teams (1 x U17, 2 x U15, 2 x U13 & 2 x U11), and more than 100<br />
children registered to play. These numbers are slightly down on 2006, however this is a common<br />
theme with most clubs in Sydney. In particular, there has been a noticeable drop in U11 players<br />
and this is being addressed by Sydney Junior <strong>Hockey</strong>. As a <strong>Club</strong>, we must also reverse this<br />
negative trend and we plan to have more pre-season activity to attract numbers.<br />
Results for the year were as follows:<br />

So a great result with two premierships and two grand final appearances out of seven teams.<br />
Congratulations to all teams and a very big thank you to the coaches and managers.<br />
It was great to see our U17A team once again hold the SHA Premiers pennant after winning it<br />
three years in a row from 2003-05. There was a real <strong>Glebe</strong> spirit in this team and many of the<br />
boys gained further experience playing for our higher grade Mens teams. Congratulations to<br />
Matt Redenbach, Josh La Spina and Ross Bougoukas who played their first games of First<br />
Grade this year.<br />
Our U15 Redbacks team were joint premiers in the Sydney-Wide U15 Metro competition. As the<br />
reigning premiers, they handled the pressure to make the grand final only to share this year’s<br />
title with Ryde in a 1-all draw after extra time. We had 5 players join us from other clubs and the<br />
team melded into a tight unit that enjoyed the year both on and off the field. The U15 Strikers did<br />
