Kobras at Harris

The Kobras were in Dundee at the weekend for the end-of-season Harris tournament. Lots of fun was had, and there were some fighting performances. The U10s were missing some key players, but played some slick hockey anyway and stood up to everything the opposition threw at them, despite giving away a foot in height to some members of other teams! Meanwhile the U12s had been persuaded that bashing the ball down the middle of the park was not a good tactic, and started to pass the ball about nicely at times. In the last game, certain members of the team decided to put on a show, all the stops came out, and we had a demonstration of 3D skills. I'm not sure whether this was more disconcerting for the opposition or the coaches.

Roll on the first tournament of the new season, in St Andrews at the end of July.

Korinthians pip the L2s

Last night saw the annual Korinthians versus L2s match. The Ladies were something of a scratch team, with key players absent and the line-up featuring three Kobras, who were getting their first experience of adult hockey. Meanwhile the Korinthians had got themselves a couple of recruits in defence who looked curiously similar to players from the L1s.

In the end, the Korinthians pipped it 2:1 in a very entertaining game, featuring some slick hockey from both sides.  Congratulations to everyone who took part, and particularly to the Kobras Eilidh, Mhairi and Nikki who excelled themselves.

Championinos!

Congratulations to the U10s, who won the Development competition for their age group at the big Inverleith tournament at Peffermill today.

The U12s and U15s were both mid-table for their respective agegroups. The U12s, however, won hands down on the best team photo competition.

Appointments for next season

As you know, the AGM took place last night. The turnout was somewhat limited (guys, where were you?) so for those who were not there, here are the appointments for next season


President: Gurdi Duhre
VP: Gail Nelson
Club Secy: Claire Brownbridge
Treasurer: Andrew Montford
Mens Club Captain: Chris Robson
Ladies CC: Lindsey Broderick-Knight
Social: Kirsty Dunn
Mens Secretary: Ralph Hepburn
Ladies Secretary: Susie McIntyre
CPO: Michelle Best
Junior Convenor: Andrew McIntyre

M1s captains - tbc
M2s captains - Simon Williams, (Ralph Hepburn vice)
L1s captains - Amy Weatherup,  (Lynn Jack vice)
L2s captains - Wendy Marshall, (Catherine Wray vice)


The two issues arising are the captaincy of the M1s. Alex Ingram has offered to do on an interim basis, but he doesn't know if he will be playing in Kinross next season, so the men's section will need to be thinking about alternative arrangements.

In addition, the possibility of having two social convenors - one from the men's section and one from the ladies - has been raised. We really need someone from the men's section to step forwards here.
