Club Tournament-Top of the South
19-20 May 2018, Greymouth

RESULTS...

West Coast Hockey hosted the 2nd annual Top of the South Club Hockey Tournament over the weekend at Greymouth’s Westurf Stadium. Thirteen teams were entered in the event, with Cobden and Greymouth entering the local teams in both the Women’s and Men’s divisions. Two visiting teams from Buller joined another seven from Nelson and Marlborough to make a full weekend of top quality hockey.

The round robin matches on Saturday saw most of the Coast teams struggle against well-drilled northern teams, and the Cobden Women were the only local team to make it through to the top four. The Women’s final was fought out in a close match between Marlborough’s MGC and Arotea Kiwi teams. With the score tied at one apiece at the end of regulation time, the match went into a golden goal shootout competition that was also unable to separate the two teams, and so the title was shared. In the Men’s division final, Nelson’s Tasman and Waimai squads played a fast match that saw Tasman come away with a 2-0 victory with a goal in each half.

The results of the Top of the South tournament matches were:

Men: Tasman 4 Cobden 0, Waimai 1 Arotea Kiwi 1, Greymouth 1 Hector 1, Waimai 3 Cobden 0, Tasman 4 Arotea Kiwi 0, Stoke 1 Greymouth 0, Arotea Kiwi 2 Cobden 1, Tasman 1 Waimai 0, Hector 2 Stoke 0, Greymouth 3 Arotea Kiwi 1, Hector 2 Stoke 1. Semifinals: Tasman 2 Stoke 0, Waimai 1 Hector 0. Final: Tasman 2 Waimai 0

Women: Cobden 1 Buller 0, Beawai 2 Greymouth 0, MGC 1 Cobden 0, Arotea Kiwi 2 Greymouth 0, MGC 2 Buller 1, Arotea Kiwi 1 Beawai 0, Greymouth 2 Buller 1, Beawai 0 Buller 0. Semifinals: MGC 2 Beawai 0, Arotea Kiwi 1 Cobden 0. Final: MGC MGC 1 Arotea Kiwi 1.

Thanks again to you all for making the weekend a success. Special thanks to the team managers, coaches and umpires for keeping you all in order. Congratulations to Tasman for winning the Men's division and to MGC and Arotea Kiwi for sharing the Women's title.

• Team cards are not required to be filled out for each game.
• Buller Women are short of players, so will be looking for extras for their games! Contact Heather Orchard.
• Teams should bring white shirts as an alternative strip if needed. Team managers please agree on this with opponents well before the game.
• Games marked with an asterisk (*) are for only minor placings and so may be rearranged by the Tourney Controller (subject to teams’ agreement) to mix the opponents. This will be done by 9pm Saturday, and posted at the Union Hotel. Contact Tourney Controller for details.

GK TRAINING SESSIONS continues this upcoming WEDNESDAY May 16th

WEDNESDAYS from 06:00-07:00 pm .

Karen Shearer will be running those training sessions.

We had a great attendance on the first session on Tuesday May 1st and we looked to move those sessions to WEDNESDAYS 06:00-07:00 pm.

It has clear that more turf space is required to run those sessions and Wednesdays will be a better option to everyone.

For anyone interested, Karen, have been involved with Nelson Hockey for about 20-odd years (originally from Mid Canterbury).She represented Nelson at the National level (National Women's Sr tournament, Master Tournaments) on and off for a number of years, and NZ at Master level.
She offered her time to help all Clubs with their keepers and work with them on their basics, know the rules and know their limits (strengths and weaknesses)

This sessions will important for junior keepers to value their position in the team and learn the way to communicate to their teammates.
Turning up to Karen trainings is open to all keepers an entirely optional.

In behalf of NHA and the Hockey Community we would like to express our big thanks to Karen for her time and effort in helping our keepers development.

Thank You Karen!
We'll see our keepers on the turf again this upcoming WEDNESDAY MAY 16th from 06:00-07:00 pm.
