First Grade Metro Women’s Report Following a disappointing 2006 season, there was great expectation on the team to improve their performance, as well as their standing on the points table to ensure the Glebe Women’s 1 st grade team did not face the real possibility of being relegated from Sydney Women’s Hockey League’s premier competition. Of course motivation by fear doesn’t work and I’m pleased to say that the word relegation or talking about “coming last” were not part of the team’s vocabulary. In fact the key theme which was central to our training, our preparation and game day was Improvement. This year the team was very committed to improving and playing a style of hockey that was in the true Glebe spirit and tradition. And I must say the girls both at an individual and team level improved tremendously throughout the year and gave many teams a real fright with their determination and willingness to play strong and competitive hockey. The theme Improvement was all about developing a team structure and shape so that every one not only understood their own and team mate’s roles but also the importance of anticipating the second, third and fourth pass. For improvement to be achieved a great deal of emphasis was placed on the fundamentals; trapping, passing and tackling as well as the importance of fitness and pre match preparation. In all of these facets, I’m delighted to say the team improved and although a semi final birth was not achieved the team is only a season or two away from making this a reality. In 2008, emphasis will be placed on the same approach with perhaps more work to be done on “circle craft”, goal shooting and composure and set plays…especially penalty corners. It’s probably fair to say that the addition of a couple of elite and experienced 1 st grade players would also accelerate the team’s development and perhaps this should be a priority in the off season. So 2007 was a turning point for the team and a year where the platform for future achievement has certainly been built. I have every confidence with continued dedication and commitment from each 1 st grader as well as a bit more belief in their own ability that 2008 will provide further improvement and success. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the girls who played 1 st grade this year for your hard work and also to congratulate you for the real improvement that you made. Also to our very few but very regular supporters who made an effort each and every week to support the team – your presence is extremely important and I hope you will all be cheering us all along next year. To Danny O’Brien who helped me out at training and on game days when I couldn’t be available – thanks mate. To Ken Wark jnr the second grade coach who provided invaluable assistance at training. To Dean Benfield, Adam Campano, les Wark and Matty Wark who were always available to assist at training – thanks fellas. To Raelene Lindeberg who worked tirelessly and so unselfishly – the contribution you made to our club and the girls was amazing. And to my wife Ann for being the team’s Manager, lolly supplier and voice of experience and also to Ann Wark who filled in for Ann when we were away. And to Neil Lawson the 2 nd grade manager who provided Ann and I fantastic support. Page 62 77th Annual Report Glebe District Hockey Club
And finally to Catherine Wark for winning both the “Punjab” award as well as the “Players Player” Award….you had a busy season as well as a great one….Well done! Again girls, congratulations on your commitment and improvement this year and now you know what’s required to achieve at this level its up to you to lift the standard next year and make 2008 the season you want it to be! Ann and I look forward to working with you, very confident that next season will be an even better year. I take this opportunity to wish all members of the club a wonderful Christmas and a safe, healthy and happy 2008. Team.
