Your sportsmanship and genuine love of the sport was very visible and the compliments on your behaviour is a credit to you. A massive shout out to the St Edward's All Stars for walking away undefeated and winning their division.
Hockey News
Martha and Gabby were shocked to receive a letter during the week offering them a fantastic opportunity to be part of an under 13/14 Wanderers Australian hockey tour of Fiji next year. (Excerpt of letter attached)
This offer extends from their state PSSA winning performance in June. Both girls are so excited to experience what going on an international hockey tour would be like.
Gabby said she is looking forward to playing the Fijian national team in 2 test matches as well as having the opportunity to get her hair braided!
Martha said she can’t wait to make new friends from all over Australia and play internationally together overseas.
Both girls can’t believe they can get this opportunity but also experience it with a close friend.
