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 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 vs. Doncaster (4-3)
This was another tale of the Kew-Doncaster rivalry with its mandatory twists and turns. It was ultimately a tough, tight affair in which both sides had chances and frustrations. And when it was over everyone finished the game spent and heaving for air.

Sunday Morning 11:00am. The only two other factors that made this match and timeslot better was the torrential downpour that imposed itself over Essendon Hockey Ground and the fact that the Kew HC Trivia Night was scheduled for the night before. Only drinking milk and cordial together makes for a worse combination.
Essendon must have caught [...]

Kew def MHSOB (3-1)
Kew and MHSOB agreed to re-schedule their Rd 15 match to Falls Creek to take advantage of the excellent ski conditions on offer. Well, actually we didn’t, but it certainly felt like it as we stripped down for our late Sunday afternoon game against MHSOB at Melbourne’s coldest sporting venue, the [...]

Kew vs. Southern United (8-0)
Some people are great list makers: Things-To-Do, Things-Just-Done, Favourite Bands, Favourite Chinese Restaurant and Favourite Parent some great lists I can recall. Another great one has always been favourite “away games” in hockey. The old Moorabin ground has always figured very prominently in such a list. Its played host to some [...]

Kew Pennant C vs Hawthorn (10-1)
According to those in the know, there were only ever five true Supermodels: Linda (Enangalista), Claudia (Schiffer), Elle (McPhersopn), Cindy (Crawford) and Naomi (Campbell). Everyone else was just a pretender.
Atop the Pennant C ladder, five teams are locked in a race for four spots. All capable of beating each other [...]

Kew Pennant C vs Greensborough (2-4)
This was the corresponding fixture from earlier in the season which kick started our season. (A 9-1 victory for the uninformed)
It was also the most keenly anticipated match of the season for Damon Hartung, who has recently moved to the area. Which means it’s rough justice to be in Noosa [...]

Kew Pennant C v Monash (1-1)
As a club Kew never seem to handle the mid-season break too well. Many theories have been trotted out over the years, including injuries, holidays and lack of depth. We have tried several strategies over the years to combat the malaise. This year it was hoped the “Mid Year Review” [...]

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 [...]
