March 2014

On Sunday 2nd March 2014, Hockey Tasmania held a Clinic at the Hockey Centre to promote the sport. As President of the Club and a parent I would like to thank those children who attended and the parents who supported the day. We were by far the most impressive Club there on the day and that is on the basis of hard work by Tania Barry, Kathy Westland and the A-Pool men (Alistair Addison, Angus Bolton, Stuart Webb, Torin Bester, Andy Isles, Adam Clifford, Travis Cresswell & Aaron Kitchener) who came and coached the Derwent juniors. Photos of the day taken by Martin Taylor, Torin Bester and Travis Cresswell can be seen on page 11

Derwent Strikers—Strike Force

On Saturday 22nd March 2014, a pre-season competition will be held in the form of a Super 9 Competition. Held for the 3rd year, the Gala Day/Club Colours Day, will consist of a competition between the A-Grade teams both men and women. The men will take the field for the first 15 minutes and the women for the second 15 minutes. The games are as follows:

The winner to take home $700 for their Club and this year there is $300 for second place.

In support of our A-Grade Men & Women, come and celebrate everything that is Derwent. Wear your Club entire, and have some fun with your team mates before the hard slog of the season commences, whilst supporting the men

& women in action. Below is a map of where Clubs are located on the day. The Club will have the Millingtons tent erected and join the

fellow Derwent members in support of the Club. GO DERWENT!

The 50 Club is returning in 2014. Details to follow.........

The National U15 Girls Tournament is being held in Hobart this

year from April 12—20. This year is a new format where states

and territories have the option of entering more than one team.

This means that the U15g tournament will have 12 teams partici-

pating from around Australia.

There are a number of volunteer positions that we are asking for your assistance. They are:

Tech Bench: - those involved with the tech bench throughout the tournament contact Brendan

Moore on [email protected]

Updating scores—we are seeking assistance from anyone who has experience in entering results on

sportdesq who may be able to assist on the weekends and or during the week of the tournament.

Please contact Alistair on [email protected]

First Aid Room: if there are any doctors, nurses or suitable qualified First Aiders who are inter-

ested in being at the ground to offer any basic medical assistance if required that would be fantas-

tic. You can sit and watch the games, you just need to be available for assistance when needed: Alis-

[email protected]

Whether it be for a few hours or a few days, any involvement is greatly appreciated and goes a long

way. Tasmania has a proud history of delivering high quality tournaments and this couldn’t have

been done without the assistance of volunteers in the hockey community. We hope you will con-

tinue to assist us as we strive to continue to deliver successful tournaments in the state.


Derwent is celebrating it’s 80th birthday in 2015. We are the oldest club in the Southern part of the State and the 2nd oldest in the entire State.

Ben Merritt (pictured left) is/was a long standing member of Derwent. Two years ago Ben relocated to Melbourne with his lovely family. Unfortunately last week Ben sustained serious injuries in a road accident. Ben was flown to the Alfred Hospital and placed in an induced coma. He has a fairly nasty gash on his head which is being operated on again, but the good news is this doesn't look to have caused any damage to the brain, apart from a few small bleeds which seem to be under control. He has a broken arm which will require further surgery in the coming days. He is now out of the coma and responding to basic commands which is obviously a very good sign. Whilst his neck is very sore, again there doesn't seem to be any real damage and he has the use of all his limbs, which is another good sign. We wish Ben all the best of luck in his recovery.

TASMANIAN HOCKEY CENTRE CASUAL TURF HIRE CONDITIONS

In 2014 there is a formal protocol for casual turf hire. This is to ensure that all users contribute financially to turf maintenance and replacement and the privilege is not being abused.

The THC cannot be used without permission from either THC or Hockey Tasmania staff

Casual turf hire is only available when there is not a ground booking or match time

It is expected that no rubbish will be left and the ground is left neat and tidy

THC 3 is the preferred ground for all casual hire.

THC1 is not available for casual turf hire.

All ground rules apply and will be enforced, especially entering the grounds through the gates

If there are more than 6 players this is classed as a booking rather than casual turf hire and the

users will be charged the appropriate Hockey Tasmania turf hire charge

TIS/ETS athletes are required to pay casual turf hire if they are not being coached by a Hockey

Tasmania or TIS/ETS coach

Any players who participate with Hockey Tasmania or TIS/ETS coaches that are not part of either
