AVON Hockey Association was well represented in the year 9/10 boys club which ran from July 13-15.
The boys and girls representing Avon came from all parts of the association, including Wongan Hills, York, Toodyay and Northam.
We had a combination of experience in Jordan Booth, Sam Chitty, Tom Hewitt, Clayton Dickson, Tristan Breen, Jordan Bear and Zachary Antonio from school year 10, and the last year at this level.
These guys were ably supported by the younger team members Dene Bowden, Kieren Turner, Bailey Donegan, Kiara Young, Sam Street and Kirsty McPherson.
Right from the start, the team played competitively against the older and more experienced metropolitan teams.
In fact, the tougher the opposition, the better the Avon team played.
Although the games were played competitively, it didn’t reflect in the overall scoreboard, with the Avon team finishing seventh in their pool.
However, the team showed great spirit and leadership from the older team members and great spirit from the younger team members.
Together, they proved that Avon is competitive.
A big thanks not only goes to the players, but team manager Shelly Booth and all the parents and supporters who gave up their time to watch and cheer.
Good luck to each and every one of the team for the rest of the season and for the next carnival.
