South Australia was represented at the Australian U18 Indoor Championships by an U18 Men’s Team. Coach, Christian Underwood, said ‘"The team was competitive throughout the tournament and they vastly improved the longer the week went on. Considering the less than ideal preparations, the team performed better than ex­ pected."

Hockey SA would like to say a very big thank you to Christian and Paul Gould (manager) for stepping in to assist at such a late stage!
