GOULBURN Valley Hockey Juniors represented the Association to the best of their ability during the recent Hockey Victoria Junior State Championships held in Shepparton from Thursday, July 1 until Sunday, July 4.

Shepparton and Bendigo were a buzz with junior hockey players and their families exploring the regions in between their games.
With games commencing in some cases in the fog at 8am in the morning and finishing late in the freezing conditions, it was awesome to see the great action on the pitch from all players.

The amazing Under 18 Girls team were able to obtain a “vintage gold” in their final match on Sunday and it was an excellent reward to the girls who were indeed the best performers side all week of the North East Knights.

It was a great week had by all and both organisers from Hockey Victoria and the Goulburn Valley Hockey Association hailed the week a resounding success. The GVHA can’t wait to host even more fantastic events from Hockey Victoria, starting with a Premier League Day on the August 7 2021 where they will host the Essendon and Altona Hockey Clubs.
