  • 'Hockey – Songs – Enduring Friendships'
    1977 UWA First Grade Champions 1974 IV Adelaide (Pam Rothwell centre) 26 THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIENDS! By Pam Rothwell who joined the club in 1973 from South Australia "The West Australian" heading, August 1977..."University Break Hockey Drought" University won their first premiership in 28 years after defeating Surf 3-1 in extra time. How sweet it was, my old team (I played 8 years first grade for Surf), they couldn't believe it. There are many fond memories of my years with University such as training at McGillivray Oval. The troops just loved forwards against backs, basic skills drills (cones everywhere) and team talks were not high on the agenda, better received was speedball, shirts v skins or a drink at the old Floreat Bar. Nevertheless, through 1977-79 they were a well oiled machine, fit, fast and fantastic. No one could catch Flissy, Anwen, Lorna, Shanksie, Gail, Suzy, Mandy, Vickie or JR or could get passed Bev, Jen Wealand, Hazel, Bubbles, Liz Prater or Liz Allen-Williams. Then there was Intervarsity, "Wee Wasy", my main responsibility was custodian of the pot (that could probably be misinterpreted these days, it was a potty). Wasy (West Aussie) teams were successful from 1973 -1977 inclusive and were also unbeaten at the boat races not to mention our supreme singing of our very own selected verse. I continued my Intervarsity experience as Coach/Manager of the Australian Universities tour of New Zealand in 1975. There were 5 Wasy representatives in the team including Jen Wealand, Hazel, Ali, Anwen and Bubbles.
