Season fees:   Senior $140      Student $110      Junior $60

For the season fees, a junior is someone 15 and under, even if they are playing seniors. A student is someone older than a junior but still in full time education (either secondary or tertiary). A $5 discount is available if fees are paid by round 3.

Weekly fees: Each week there will be a match fee. For players in junior teams it is $5 per game to a maximum of $10 per family. For players in senior teams the fee is $10 per game, however, this is reduced to $5 if the player is at secondary school or $8 if doing full time tertiary studies.

During summer, Hockey Victoria ran a state wide junior development program. Victoria was divided into eight zones with Tallangatta falling under North Central Zone. Three local girls, Olivia & Madeleine Hunt and Lucy White made the local squad, called the Strikers, and attended training sessions in Shepparton and Albury.

The program culminated in a tournament at the National Hockey Centre in Melbourne with three round robin matches and a finals play off. As can be imagined, making the team and playing on the same ground that Australia won the gold medal in the Commonwealth Games was a huge thrill for the girls.

Maddi and Liv both played in attack and Lucy was one of two goalies for the team. The first round was a tightly fought contest until Liv scored followed shortly after by Maddi. Round one – a 2-0 win. Round 2 saw some excellent saves from Lucy and another goal from Liv, again a 2-0 win. After 2 rounds, the Strikers were well on top of the table and on target to play off in the grand final. Only one other team had managed to score out of their 2 matches.

The temperature in Melbourne was rapidly rising with a forecast cool change not eventuating. Just after midday it reached 39 degrees and the remainder of the competition was abandoned – a disappointing conclusion for the team but wise decision considering it got to 42 (in the shade) that day.

Well done girls!

2006 was a memorable one for the club with the U12 mixed winning the grand final – the first flag since the U16 boys won six years ago.

Congratulations to Nathaniel Conlon for winning club best & fairest, Zach Jones runner up and Olivia Hunt on receiving the Coaches Award.
