not match the Redback’s success, but enjoyed a happy and social year together under the guidance of their coach Catherine Wark. Many of the team will stay together next year and Cath is looking forward to continuing to improve their hockey skills. Our two U13 teams struggled with numbers this year which showed in the results. I often heard from coaches and parents “If only we had a full team with reserves, we would have matched or beaten that team!!” Despite this, everyone still turned up to train and play each week, so thanks to the players and parents for hanging in there. For the U13A Redbacks, the highlight was probably scoring one of only three goals that Sutherland had against them for the whole season. The U13 Strikers ended up having three coaches and 23 children play during the season, so it is a credit to you all that the team was still there at the end – well done!! Both U11 teams made the Grand Final and we have some real talent coming through in this age group. Many players will still be in U11 next year, so maybe we can go one better??!! I was constantly amazed by the enthusiasm of both players and parents at training and the games and this is so important for making a successful club. Development of hockey skills will be paramount as they move through the age groups so that the juniors continue to provide players for both our Mens and Womens senior teams in the future. Our Minkey program under the guidance of Vernon Howe, Alison and Andrew Cheong continued to attract up to 40 children each Saturday morning down at Jubilee. Ages range from 3 to 9 years, and the program is centred on fun and involvement whilst learning basic skills. This is a great breeding ground for the stars of the future. In concluding this report, there are many people that have made a contribution to the club during the year. I would like to thank the following: • Our major Junior sponsor the Toxteth Hotel makes a sizeable monetary donation each year for Junior Development. Thank you Vonnie Dart. Our coaches & managers – a mixture of dedicated parents, senior members and players. You all make the club successful. Mick Bougoukas, then Patricia Doughty & Liz Fleming who ran the clubhouse. Also the band of parents who helped with the BBQ each week. Harry Wark – a club stalwart, again was there every Wednesday night to warm up the players and look after teams when coaches couldn’t make it. Jenna Price & John Kavanagh – Our Junior Carnival Convenors. Did a fantastic job once again in the face of adversity!! Vernon Howe, Andrew Cheong, Alison Cheong, – went to extra efforts to run the minkey. Glebe Management Committee – Bob Taylor, Les Wark and the committee for their help during the season Thanks to all the helpers. In closing, I appeal to you all to assist wherever you can. Our club and hockey in general faces ever increasing competition from the likes of football and AFL. We can’t match these sports in dollar terms, so it is up to us at club level to increase our numbers and improve the skills of the players. Please volunteer your services or consider how you can help if asked. Page 26 77th Annual Report Glebe District Hockey Club
