Three players selected for Junior Black Sticks!
Congratulations to Tom Lysaght, Cam Hayde and Brooke Neal!
The three of them have been selected into the the Junior Black Sticks teams to compete at an international tournament in November, the boys are heading to Malaysia and the girls are heading to India. This will be an amazing experience for them, however it comes at a significant cost. To help raise money they have our own fundraising pages, where people are able to make donations towards them competing at their respective tournaments.
Below are the links to their pages, they would greatly appreciate any donations that you are able to make. Big or small, it all makes a difference and is all significantly appreciated.

If you know anyone else that may be interested in supporting them to make these tournaments, then please do not hesitate to pass the links on.
We wish them the best of luck!

Finals Day and Prizegiving
Finals Day
Finals day is coming up this Saturday, 24 September and Varsity will be well represented!
The results from last weekend are now in (including a couple of nailbiting finishes), and the draw has been confirmed for finals day. We have 4 teams competing in 3 grades, which is a great effort. Lets see lots of people there to support our teams and watch some high quality hockey being played.
We’ll have a marquee set up and the BBQ running, will be a good day. The rugby will be on in the pavilion after the games are finished, with a happy hour running from the final whistle of the day till the start of the match.
Our game times are:
- 1:30pm Reserve Men: New World Uni vs Visique Rose Uni
- 3:10pm Reserve Women: Te Awamutu Blue vs Sachin Uni
- 3:20pm Premier Men: Fraser Tech vs CBD Uni
Prizegiving
The Saturday after finals (1 October) we return to the WHA pavilion for our club prizegiving. Doors open 7pm with awards kicking off at 7:30pm, $5 on the night. We’ll probably have the rugby on the TV if that tickles your fancy and afterwards we’ll head in to CBD to carry on the night.
