MINI HOCKEY FINALS DAY – September 10th
2005 |
| Mini Hockey finished a very successful season with an eight a side tournament
at the Gallagher Hockey Centre. Presentations were made to all Waikato Year 5/6 Representaive players, with Tim Smith (N.Z. Under 18s) and Debbie Bell (Tiger Turf N.Z. Under 16s) doing the honours. Blackstick Richard Petherick was also on hand to offer congratulations and sign autographs for the Blacksticks of the future. The final of the Milne Cup was fought out between Hamilton West Pukekos, coached by Chris Jaques, and Ngahinapouri Strikers coached by Catherine McLean. This match proved to be a high scoring thriller, between two outstanding teams. The full time score was Ham West 6 – Ngahinapouri 4. Bruce Milne was on hand to make the presentations, and commented that while he had taught at, and coached hockey at Hamilton West for many years prior to his retirement, he had also been Principal at Ngahinapouri school. |
