Congratulations to Rustlers and Bluebees as the Major Premiers of A Grade and B Grade, both winning their respective Grand Final on Saturday.

Also congratulations to Hornets and Bluebees as the Minor Premiers in A and B Grade, both finishing top of the table in their respective grades.

Well done to all teams for making the Grand Final and for giving us some very exciting games to watch. It was a great day!

Thank you to Mayor Penfold who presented the inaugural Maitland City Council A Grade Perpetual Trophies to Rustlers as Major Premiers and to Hornets as Minor Premiers.

It’s Grand Final Day at Maitland on Saturday for the Women’s Competition – come along from 12:00 to check it out! It should be an exciting afternoon.

The B Grade Grand Final is at 12:00 followed by A Grade at 1:30.

Also this year, as our annual Grand Final donation, Maitland Hockey Inc is donating to the Cancer Council in support of our players and their families who have been impacted by cancer.

Every dollar to the Cancer Council goes towards cancer research, support services, prevention programs and advocacy and if you’d also like to contribute, we will have donation buckets at the field on Saturday for any cash donations or you can also donate via the Hornets team Hockey Sisters QR code below.

The Junior Carnival is on this Sunday with games kicking off at 8:00 for the U13’s and U16’s and at 9:00 for the U10’s.

See the draw for each age group below:

There will also be our usual full BBQ operating throughout the day, which is always very popular – including tasty sausage and rissole sandwiches/buns, bacon & egg rolls, etc, while the Canteen will be serving pies, sausage rolls, hot dogs, hot chips, toasted sandwiches as well as hot and cold drinks. No-one will go hungry, that’s for sure!
