KEW Hockey Club

First (and last) final
Kew (3) v Southern (4)
The week leading up to this game was very interesting.  We did some research on Southern in their Round 18 game.  Noted was ‘Tall Jan’ and the ‘speedy playmaker’.  The cursive ‘w’ was the style of play that would suit and Amy’s ‘tagging’ ability was called for.  So…Tuesday’s [...]

This round the Kew ladies helped support TEMS Breast Cancer Awareness weekend through a kind donation and wore pink ribbons that Avis tells me she wove herself. (Is there anything this lady can’t do) Fantastic effort by the TEMS club. Well last round for the season and it came down to this, if the Bourgh [...]

The firsts take on Southern this weekend, who have had the wood over them during the normal season. But that all changes in finals. Make sure you get down to the State Hockey Center and voice your support for the Cumberettes!

Kew vs Bendigo
Never let ladder position dictate how to approach a game…but we did feel a little more relaxed this week against Benders.  We had a win against then in pre season and first time around and they really were no match to Southern who thrashed them last week.

This week we welcomed Kimmie into the side after her European Adventures, she took up position on the back line with Chels and Caitlin. Steph came back into the 2’s this week and played again on the half line with the reliable Soph and Vanessa the undresser.
The forward line was the ever reliable Bambi, Mel, [...]

Well after the rivalry round last weekend the team had to set their sights on putting away the Saints this weekend. Well the game got started, but I wouldn’t really say that we did. After 10 minutes of a warm up, we found a bit of space and started to weave around these ladies (didn’t [...]
