- Jo and Danny Hicks
Our under 12 girls had a great start to the season today with a 1 all draw. Our goalie Crystal done an amazing job in very hot conditions. 2016 has seen the majority of our 2015 team return plus we have added a few new faces with crystal, Halle & Zaylia who fitted right in. Our goal was scored by Darcee but it was an amazing team effort as it hit 4 other Norths players sticks in the circle before it got to her. Well done girls you all played amazingly

From HAW:
Wodonga canteen issue To all clubs,
The Wodonga canteen will not be open until further notice.
The reason for this is an infestation of termites in the canteen building and we are unable to clean adequately to meet health and safety standards.
We realise that this will inconvenience clubs, and our apologies but there is little we can do until the pest man can eradicate the live termites.
There is a water bubbler outside the compound closer to the BMX track, and we have requested that Wodonga Council fix the tap/bubbler on the north side of the canteen building so that there is water available inside also.
All clubs should make sure that their managers know so they can take ice with them.
We will keep you posted
Regards

From the HAW Office:
Hi all,
A request to all clubs – can you please send to managers to remind their players (thanks)
At the end of your game can you please ensure that there is no litter left in or around your dugout. There is a bin placed in each dugout and large bins around the grounds. If the litter could be put in there it would be much appreciated. It will make my job much easier (and give me more time to deal with other things that you need me to do)

It was a very warm weekend for the winter sport of hockey and quite a few of the valiant Norths players lamented this fact. First round as well and it was a tough day at the office for all players.
First off the cards Sunday morning the B Grade Men and B Grade Women (White) played in Albury.
The White team had a solid win, the young members of the team playing well and pushing Beechworth hard and getting up.
The B Grade Men didn’t fare as well against United. The effort was there, but the results were elusive. They came second on the day:

B Men defending yet another short corner – Will on the lead from the goals, followed by Beau. Brandon Purcell, Mark Hooper and Yours Truly huddling in the goals
Shooting over to Wodonga for the B Grade Women (Blue)’s game against Wodonga in the sandpit. The Blue girls came out cracking, pushing Wodonga on to the back foot very quickly, while short of players. The cavalry arrived from the White team and for a while we had a very fluid forward line (i.e. no-one knew where they were!) We sorted it out eventually and broke the ice. Some solid play in the second half and the girls trotted off the field 4 – 1 winners:

B Grade Women Blue, with kids and coach. Hot, tired and sweaty but happy!
Back to the Albury Hockey Centre and the A Grade girls were cutting loose on the field. A very young team combined with a few old soldiers and they had a successful campaign winning 3-1

A Grade Women (Katie Homer was concerned about a bee in this photo)
The final match up was Magpies and the A Grade Men. A hard fought game, 3-2 down at half time the boys pushed very hard in the second half. Unfortunately fate was unkind and the men went down 5-4 in a great game.

A Grade Men – pre-match and fresh as a daisy.
A good weekend start for the club. Let’s roll into next week!
