Congratulations to Matt Davey and Hannah Baker who were both selected to represent their hockey association at the Men’s and Women’s New South Wales State Championships.  Both players were nominated for the teams after performing well for their club’s first grade team this season.  Matt represented the Sydney Hockey Association whilst Hannah represented MacArthur.

Each hockey association in NSW are represented at the Championships which were held over the long weekend in Sydney (7th/8th June).  The Men’s Championships were held in Grafton whilst the Women’s Championships were held in Tamworth. 

Hannah’s MacArthur team were knocked out at the group stage.  However in the Men’s competition, despite losing 9-3 to Illawarra in the group stage, the Sydney Hockey Association qualified for the semi final where they beat Newcastle.  In the final they got revenge over Illawarra beating them 5-2 to win the Championship. 

Commenting on the event Matt said “It was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend getting the opportunity to play with and against the state’s best players.  The final was great and it was fantastic that we won!”

Well done to Matt and Hannah!
