Men’s Provision 1- Saturday 15
Melville v Reds
What did you do at 8:30pm on Saturday night? Sure
was cold wasn’t it? I always think its colder at
hockey turfs than anywhere else and sadly I was
proven correct as we ran onto the pitch at Melville
to play our Prov 1 Mens game at 8:30pm. That’s
8:30pm start time, not finish time. We started really
strong but let them back in the game later, probably
because it was past half the teams bedtime.
Given the time it was a great surprise that we not
only had a team but 2 subs, with some much
appreciated thanks to our late ring-ins (cheers Tom,
Jack and Lachlan). We pulled a massive team
selection surprise that left everyone guessing,
especially our own team, with Gav starting at Left
Half.
He did a great job, but even at LH still
Vets.
managed to get a shot, with no less than his
compulsory tomahawk.
Goal of the Day? With 4 to choose from, this was a
hard choice between Blake’s flick going in/off a
defender and Dirtys baseline magic, but there was
one goal that truly stood out. The others were good,
but don’t deserve a full paragraph. Though my goal
was good, really good. See what happened was I got
the ball from the left and quickly swung around to
hit it off my back foot towards the goal. It was such
a quickly-taken shot that the goalie over-reacted and
my snail pace shot managed to trickle over the line,
and touch the side board with a very small boom.
Right, where was I? Oh yeah, that was (really,
really) good but the best goal was our fwd pressure
on their fullback. He had no options, so tried to take
on Prindi (bad idea), tried to offlay to his other
fullback (worse idea) when Noel swooped in,
intercepted and slotted it into the net …..If we had
any spectators braving the cold they sure would
have applauded the team pressure & effort.
Cont
So in the end we managed a 4-2 win and are
happily sitting on top of the ladder, maybe. Not
sure, as I still haven’t checked the new website.
Probably should have checked it before posting
this. Too busy. In fact on Sunday, I took my 3 year
old son, Tim, to Kings Park on the weekend and he
loved that dinosaur playground so much that when
we had to go he carried on like a pork chop. Lucky
for me, by playing Melville the night before I was
hardened to incessant moaning, whinging and petty
complaining. I will be playing in ear plugs next
round.

Your club goes to a lot of effort to have the correct

Please make it a priority to obtain the correct
playing attire. ALL players (Goalkeeper exempt)

rules from HWA.

very promising manner with the following result.
v Scotch 3 – 0

v Christchurch 2 – 1
The team is again being coached by Ian Smyth and
this year captain is Simon Benetti. Their next two
games, agaist Hale and Scotch are at home
commencing at 10.30 on Saturday mornings. It
would be beneficial for club members to make an
effort and come down and give them your support.
P.S. The morning teas are worth it.

Aggiss, David Bell, John Davidson, Ivan Wilson,

and to all who helped on the day in the kitchen,
coaching the kids and selling the raffle tickets

HBF Run for a Reason
Sunday May 26th 2013 whilst a number of club
members and families competed in the run, guess
who was the oldest competitor, none other than
#23114 Peter Kennedy at age 93, joking that run
for a reason kept him out of Karrakatta, and he
intended to keep entering for as long as he is able.
Congratulations to all those who entered and
raised $1.2m for charities
