KEW Hockey Club

Dear Men’s Players,
I am formally welcoming all Men’s players to the 2010 Season. For some of you, the season started back in December with Pre-season. For others, the season is now beginning.
The objective for this season across all teams is simple. ‘To improve on the performances of 2009’. For almost all [...]

Pennant C: Kew vs. Greensborough (1-0)
They say that sometimes there is a moment before a momentous occasion where your destiny reveals itself. Its almost like watching your personal slide show before the event. As I rubbed my eyes at 5:32 I winced, hoping for that moment of clarity, looking for the “sign” that everything would [...]

KEW 4 – Southern 5
A thrashing of Waverley (7-1) the week before gave the PB boys every chance to play finals. Unfortunately things did not go to script and Southern beat Camberwell to edge a point in front of us. It was all down to Essendon (second last) to beat Greenborough (third). News filtered [...]

Kew vs. Doncaster (1-2)
Kew opened its finals campaign with a qualifying final against the lemon and lime’s of Doncaster in a top of the table Qualifying Final.
But before we look at the game we it might be worthwhile examining the ‘parable of the broken window’.
The parable describes a shopkeeper whose window is broken [...]

Kew 3 defeated MCC 1
It has often been said that pressure can determine one’s actions. Given that The Mighty fours had no pressure on Elimination Final Day, perhaps that is why they decided to play their best game of the year when it counted most.
Up until Monday morning, the Kew Boys were placed 6th on [...]

Kew Sopranos 4 def Greensborough 2
Goals: Ben Hartung 2, Richard Clancy 1, Pat Nicholls 1 
There is a saying that “Perfect Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.”  Well the Sopranos certainly proved the exception to the rule this week.  After a stellar performance by all and sundry at the Final Round Harp celebrations, we were all a little surprised [...]

Kew 2 – Footscray 3 The KEW boys all arrived well and truly pumped (no hangovers) for the elimination final, against Footscray at F-2. Both games it he home and away season were draws.
Accustomed to less than 5 minutes to warm up, the boys had 15 minutes to kill before the starting whistle. A couple [...]
