GOOD LUCK TO ALL QLD TEAMS TRAVELLING TO SYDNEY
Now the local season is almost over and you are at peak fitness, it is time to polish (sharpen) your stick ready for the national Titles in Sydney commencing on 21 September.
The best of luck to all players, managers, coaches and supporters. Enjoy yourselves - it is hard not to at the titles, meet up with old friends and make new ones and most of all play your best Hockey.
Remember, it is an honour to represent your State - play hard but don't forget that at the end of the day Hockey is a game to be enjoyed and at our ages the camaraderie is just as important as winning.
Have a great two weeks.
The draw is on our website.
