Kew 2 vs Waverley 1
Being the first day of school holidays we were missing a few Mums as we rolled up to Waverley Hockey Club, including three key defenders. However the thought that the home team might also be finding themselves in a similar position kept our hopes alive. We even had a small but enthusiastic cheer squad for this game, and we didn’t want to disappoint them! Read more »
Kew 4 def Camberwell 1
Games against the Orange men tend to be well contested, closely fought and somewhat predictable. More Human Nature than Michael Jackson you might say. Lots of well tailored rugby tops and chinos and plenty of cinnamon bun to go around. But ultimately lacking any of the real magic like when Jacko came to town. Read more »
With more ’special guest star appearances’ over the last 6 weeks than Melrose Place, the question is whether we should be changing our name from the Sopranos! This week’s special guest appearances were from Steve “Whitey” White and Matt “the nice one” Cleave. Both were making their Soprano debut and did so in style. Read more »
Saturday arvo saw the Kew girls venturing to stinky Werribee to get three big points. Travelling afar, we were fired up to defeat the bottom team, and within the first 20 minutes, Kew were dominating with 5 fast goals.
The high pony tail and ribboned Kew squad were definitely at an advantage physically, with speed and acceleration faster than local zoo creatures. The large assets of the opposition were occasionally used as a distraction device however, overwhelming us less endowed ladies. Still, it was not enough for them to win! Read more »
The team inclusions this week included Ange, Kirsten, Speedy Jess Wilson and Kath Dyson back into the side. The stakes where high, a must win against MCC who were 2 points below us on the ladder.
We started slow, MCC scored early then they scored again, though we finally managed to get a short corner and Ange hit it in! 2-1 down at Half Time. We came back on after the grumpy umpire went off for us not responding to his whistle. Read more »
Kew def. Footscray 3-1
Kew went into this game confident after their impressive 6-0 win last week, despite being up against 2nd-placed Footscray. We welcomed Tina from the 2nds for her return to the T-Birds, who provided us with a strong option up forward. Read more »
The Girls were up against Footscray to kick off the 2nd half of the season and it was a challenging game from the start. Both teams making strong forward attacks, luckily our defence stood strong and repelled Footscray. But we were also unable to score after some strong offensive play from Leah & Steph. Read more »
Family Fun Day this year is now scheduled for Sunday 26 July from 12pm- 4pm
Our State League Men and Women are playing, with Kew games on all day around them.
Activities on the day are:
To make this day even bigger and better than last year, I am looking for volunteers to help out on the day. Therefore, I would like to get a small sub-committee together to further work things out. For example; I am also looking for some sewers to help out with a very simple but fun idea. If you think you could help out in anyway or have any ideas to make this day special please feel free to respond.
If not, be sure to put the day in your diary as promises to be lots of Family Fun.
Regards

With 2 straight defeats the mighty fours had slipped to sixth on the ladder. The task of facing second placed Footscray was indeed daunting. Read more »
Kew 3 def by TEM 4
Goals: 2 Barney Allen, 1 Josh “the Russian” Strawzynski
This week the number 5 ranked Sopranos took on number 1 ranked TEMs in an eastern suburbs derby.
We hit the ground running and absolutely dominated the first half. The Pharaoh of Fitzroy Street (Allen, B.) had the TEMs defence dazed and confused, putting in two humdingers. Ben Hartung managed to pick up an assist from deep in the Kew backline with an 80m pinpoint pass to the Pharaoh who then shimmied his way to into the D for the silky finish. Josh also picked up 1 in a goal mouth scramble.
It was 3-0 up at the half with several close misses from Hillsy and Charlie Mac. We were a reasonably confident group despite the loss of Allen, J. with a mystery injury and the fact that we had now had nobody on the bench. Read more »
