Hockey players selected for squad

Three players from the Peninsula Hockey Club have been selected in the Hunter Sports Academy Squad and will have their skills and fitness fine-tuned throughout the off season.

Brinley Gallagher, Jake Wigham and Hayden Boyd were part of the Under-15 Peninsula team that won 20 games straight in their first season and were subsequently named Minor Premiers.

"This was a great achievement as the whole team stays in Under-15 team next season," said Peninsula Hockey Club president Mr John Boyd.

"However, sickness and injury hit the team hard leading into the semi-final and final with the team unable to play to their full potential.

"They were the youngest side in the Under-15 competition with four team members playing hockey for the first time," said Mr Boyd.

Peninsula Hockey Club will be fielding two sides next season, an Under-15 side and an Under-17 side.
