Junior Report 2009 U 11B Hornets Back: Isabel Iglesias, Maykooth Farrawell, Ana Moraitakis, Alysha Durrant, Taillah Splitt, Joel Darwin, Darcy Kelly, Eliza Holyoake (Coach) Front: Lindon Durrant, Queenie Colquhoun, Callan Smith, James Cooper, Priya O’Brien, Jane Spencer, Zoe Taylor, Nicholas Moraitakis Absent: Tom Holyoake (Coach) 2009 started with Tom and Eliza being introduced to a team of fresh-faced U11s. Despite a lack of training the team made great progress and gained momentum developing well throughout the season. Queenie – Always enthusiastic, Queenie was a delight to coach. She has a great attitude to the game and a fantastic sense of humour. She played hard all season and should be proud of her efforts. James – We were always overjoyed when Coops, our pint sized propeller, made it to hockey. Although he missed some games, he more than made up for any absences with his never say die attitude, which culminated in a goal. Joel – Joel was a revelation. The winner of our most improved award. Joel started out meek and timid and finished up doing blazing length of the field hits and tackling anyone and everything. Improving in every aspect of his game, Joel had a great season. Alysha – Tenacious in attack and defence, Alysha showed an understanding of the game beyond her years. We’re excited to see her develop next year into an even better player. Lindon – Like others in the team, Lindon showed dedication playing at any chance he could, despite other commitments. The last game he played was by far his best, showing how valuable a player he can be. Page 16 Glebe District Hockey Club 79th Year

Junior Report 2009 Maykooth – The eternal full back, every game Maykooth would tell us about her yearning to play other positions, yet through some undeniable force she always ended up at the back. Maykooth’s defensive finesse saved the team many a goal and she had an impressive season. Izzy – Sorely missed on her European tanning session, Izzy proved to be an integral part of the forward line. A pleasure to coach, she was an asset to the team. Darcy – Darcy our superstar forward with a kick ass hit, we didn’t see as much of him as we would’ve liked but when he played he did some great things for the team including scoring our first goal of the season. Ana – Good enthusiasm in attack, Ana showed great potential and was our leading goal scorer. With her competitive nature and skills to burn she earned herself the award for best forward. Nicholas – The ever talkative, excitable Nicholas! Always ready to play, Nicholas never stopped running and always had his ears open for good advice. Priya – Thanks to Priya, our team had a mascot, her lovable ferret. Enthusiastic and a solid player she epitomised her mascot with the development of her tenacious attack and defence skills. Callan – Winner of the best back award, Callan was the rock that held our defence together. Always willing to quickly capitalise on a free hit, Callan had a fantastic season and can look forward to a solid future in hockey. Jane – Winner of the best and fairest award, Jane played every game with the utmost sportsmanship. Almost scoring a goal, Jane was outstanding in both defence and attack and had a great season. Taillah – One of the few to play almost every position. Taillah excelled at the front with a hand in a number of the goals. A great overall season we hope to see Taillah back again in 2010. Zoe –Zoe is one of the giggliest hockey players we’ve ever met and her high spirits helped her to develop and improve over the season. By the end Zoe began to shine with some outstanding runs and tackles. Macy – a helping hand whenever we were short, Macy’s contribution was greatly appreciated. Special thanks to our team managers Maria and Andrew and also to Graham who’s umpiring skills made for a fair season for all. The team developed in confidence over the year and every player should give himself or herself a pat on the back for a job well done. On a personal note, we had a great time and hope to see everyone back next year for a season of hockey madness. Tom & Eliza Holyoake Coaches Glebe District Hockey Club 79th Year Page 17
