The hockey club are very happy with our new, much-needed tech area covering. Thank you to all involved for getting it done so quickly and efficiently.

As usual, the vibe down at the Astro was very well received and it was great to see and welcome players from all over the country to our club. Thank you to all the hockey members who helped make the event a success, and to all the Wanderers staff for their support and hard work, we can all be proud.
