8TH EDITION – AUGUST 2014

STRIKEFORCE

Welcome to the new re-vamped newsletter! Not only have we been hard at work developing a redesigned newsletter, we are also close to unveiling a new anniversary logo in preparation for our

80th year celebrations that will occur all throughout 2015. The logo will be revealed in the upcoming weeks and will be used by the club in the 2015 year.

We are the oldest club in the Southern Hockey Competition. A sub-committee has been formed and they have commenced work at making 2015 a sensational year for the Club (if you would like to join there is always room).

The pinnacle of the celebration will be on the 18th July 2015 where there will be a black tie dinner at Blundstone Arena. Keep an eye out over the upcoming months for the celebration plans.

We are at that part of the season where it is all hands on deck – both on and off the fi eld. There are fi nals for both the seniors and juniors, where we will be strongly represented on all fronts. Off the fi eld there was the draw of the 50 Club. Well done to Andy Isles our winner, and to Nick Tremayne and John Harris for organising the event. We have our annual Quiz Night at the end of the month, which is bound to be a magnifi cent night for all ages.

Best of luck to everyone in the fi nal series!

Jane Ansell – President, Derwent HC.

THE JOHN HARRIS CUPFriday the 8th of August saw our Premier League men’s side battle it out against OHA in the annually contested John Harris Cup.

This particular contest was widely considered a dress rehearsal for the Grand Final and our men didn’t disappoint, displaying potential premiership credentials in the commanding 3 – 1 win.

The characteristics cherished in a player are: Quietly spoken, always contributing to the club, in the background, over a long period of time; and hasn’t sought recognition.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR UNDER-AGE PLAYERS Please read a summary of the relevant section of the Southern Competition Rules which covers the requirements for safety equipment for ALL junior players. It appears that there is some confusion as to what the standards are.

In brief Derwent Hockey Club are requested to:

Enforce NO MOUTH GUARD – NO PARTICIPATION for training and games.

Encourage boys to wear groin protectors.

Ensure that players with the role of standing inside the post in penalty corner defence during competition and training sessions wear facemasks and gloves.

Strongly encourage the wearing of shin guards although not compulsory.
