Urgent Ryde Hockey Trials Update

Hi All,

We have been informed by Macquarie Uni late tonight of a mix up in communication of the trial times and as a consequence the trial times have been changed. The new times are as follows:

5th Grade – 3:30pm
4th Grade – 4:30pm
3rd Grade – 5:30pm

If you are selected in the 4th Grade trial we ask if you could please be at the ground by 3:30 to assist 5th Grade as some players still remain unconfirmed.

I apologise for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Team Lists.

For those who are playing in the intra-club trial at 8.30am we ask that you be there at 8:15am and if you could please bring a white shirt along with a coloured shirt.

Once again we apologise for the inconvenience and look forward to seeing you there

Cheers
Micheal

A couple of things to note, the trial in the morning is a intra club trial for the 1st and 2nd Grade Squad with the squad listed in alphabetical order there is no team named just squad, the second is the afternoon trials against Macquarie Uni the matches are not consecutive it goes 3rd Grade, 5th Grade and then finally 4th Grade.

If you could please be at the ground at least 30 minutes before the commencement of your allotted game, if you are unable to play please let us know immediately so the at alternative arrangements can be made.

IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN NAMED IN ANY OF THE TEAMS AND ARE INTENDING ON PLAYING THIS YEAR PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS A MATTER OF URGENCY.

Finally if you are playing in the 3rd Grade trial we may need some of you to double up so please be prepared.

See you all on the weekend

Hi All

Please find attached the selections for the upcoming weekend, this weekend we have three trials with 1st and 2nd Grade playing Sutherland and the remainder of the club playing in a intra-club trial. If you could please be at the ground at least 30 minutes before the commencement of your match, if you are playing in the inter club trial could you please bring a white shirt and a dark coloured shirt. If you are unable to play please let the coaches know immediately.

The times for the trials this weekend are as follows:
1pm – 2nd Grade
2.30pm – 1st Grade
4pm – Intra-club

The times for the trials in the upcoming week are as follows

7th March
8.30am – 1st Grade Intra-club
3.30pm – 2nd Grade vs. Macq Uni
4.30pm – 4th Grade vs. Macq Uni
5.30pm - 3rd Grade vs. Macq Uni

14th March
9am – 1st Grade vs. Briars
10.30am – 2nd Grade vs. Briars
4pm – Intra-club

The season is then scheduled to start on the 21st March for 1st and 2nd Grade and possibly 5th Grade and then the following weekend the season starts for 3rd and 4th Grade. So the season is almost upon us and selections are starting to heat up with this year being the first year for a number of years where competition is high for selection in each grade. So now is the time to make your mark and stake your claim for selection. Please note that selection is made upon ability and not reputation or history and if you are not turning up to training or trials we cannot select you above others who are putting in a effort, this is a not too subtle reminder to those athletes who have indicated that they are playing this year but we have yet to see.

See you all on the weekend
Cheers
Mick

Hi All,

As most of you are aware that this Sunday 21st February we are playing Moorebank in some trial matches at Ryde, we have selected some teams, (attached) as a starting point and will be playing 4 trials matches. Please note that selections are far from complete with 12 players unavailable and a further 17 uncertain if they are playing and in excess of 20 new player enquiries so it is going to be very competitive for positions this year.

If you could please be at the ground 30 minutes before your scheduled match, if your name is not listed if you could please turn up to the trial at 3:30pm. If you are listed in a team and are unable to play please let us know urgently.

Given this is only a trial match if you wish you can wear black shorts as opposed to a black skirt and if you do not have a Ryde shirt if you could please bring a white shirt.

Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday

Cheers
Micheal Gunner

Hi All,

I hope you all had good Christmas and welcome to the 2010 season.

Just a quick note to let you know what is happening around the club as most of you may be aware the turf was ripped up prior to Christmas and the new carpet is currently being laid in readiness for the commencement of training on Thursday 4th February at 7pm followed by a club registration day on Sunday 7th February (time to be confirmed). Please watch emails if there is any change to this start due to the turf not being completed and the exact time for the registration day on Sunday.

We currently have a number of coaches appointed and are currently looking around for a couple more.

Finally a club as big as ours does not just happen it usually comes down to the dedication and commitment of a few individuals and I know that those few individuals would appreciate some assistances, as the cliché goes “Many hands make light work” so if you are interested in helping out on either women’s management which is not as onerous as it sounds or helping out in a small way please contact either Kara or myself. Kara can be contacted on 0407 499384 or my number is below.

I look forward to seeing you all next Thursday.

Cheers
Micheal Gunner
