FROMTHEPRESIDENTThis season (as with previous ones) has produced a plethora of memories. Wehave had the heartbreak of the 2nd Grade grand final, the strength of our men inthe Premier League final, the BBQ’s at K & D (including Jenny & her sausagedelivery), the “photo sessions” by Mark Smith of dentist patrol and uniformhistory, Jo Traynor and Helen Wells beavering away putting together themagazine on a Wednesday night, the numerous girls and boys at junior trainings,the new level of sponsorship within the club that exceeded everyone’sexpectations, the women’s veterans taking the turf for the first time in a numberof years not to mention Tania Barry’s goal/the team’s first goal and last but notleast, the two premierships at both ends of the spectrum, the Under 12 Division 2Premiers and the 4th Grade Women winning the premiership in extra time.
These memories, along with many more are a part of our history. And as oneseason ends the preparation for 2016 begins. If you are wanting to help out orassist in anyway, big or small, I encourage you to contact a committee memberto express an interest. The committee produce a lot of work all of which isvolunteered (whilst working in full time jobs) and we always welcome newvolunteers. I would like to thank the committee, in particular the Executive, whoas a group, hopefully cover all angles of the club. A special thank you to TorinBester and Nat Fahey who organised our recent wonderful 80th AnniversaryPresentation Night.
So in conclusion I would like thank you for being a part of Derwent’s history andcongratulate all winners; once again you are adding to the history of thiswonderful club – Toast Derwent Hockey Club.

The Tigers bounced back in game two with a convincing 4-1win over South Australia. The Tigers defeated NSW 4-2 inthe do-or-die match to finish top two in their pool and keepthe dream of a back-to-back title alive.
The Tigers suffered consecutive 3-1 losses to Victoria andWA in their medal pool matches. The results relegating theTigers to the bronze medal playoff against Victoria.
The bronze medal clash was an entertaining one which sawthe lead change 4 times before the Tigers secured the win4-3.

Van Demons Finish EighthThe Van Demons team featured nine debutant players forthe 2015 AHL tournament played in Sydney . Unfortunatelythe girls were unable to win a game in their Pool A round-robin matches against WA (2-0), NSW (7-0) and Canberra(4-1).
Assigned to the non-medal pool in the 2nd stage of thecompetition, the Van Demons had their only win of thetournament against the Northern Territory 1-0. A loss intheir final pool match against South Australia 2-1 wouldrelegate the Van Demons to the 7 v 8 play-off against theNorthern Territory.
Trailing Northern Territory 2-1 late in the final match the VanDemons fate seemed sealed until Amelia Spence scoredwith seconds remaining to take the match to a penaltyshoot-out. With a single conversion each in the first roundof penalty shoot-outs the game was sent to sudden death.The Northern Territory secured victory in the first suddendeath round.
Congratulations to Nicole Geeves who became Tasmania’smost capped AHL player during the tournament celebrating125 games and coach Ilene Carr who celebrated 150 AHLgames as a player/coach.
