Women’s Olympic Team: I am not one for pomp and hype but there is something special about the Olympic Games that is different from any other Teneal Attard (QLD), Madonna Blyth (QLD), Fiona Boyce (WA), sporting tournament. The players know it and the world waits for Jade Close (NSW), Toni Cronk (NSW), Casey Eastham (NSW), Anna them in anticipation. Some may complain that it is overkill and Flanagan (ACT), Kate Jenner (NSW), Kobie McGurk (WA), Hope encourages countries to show power through money invested but Munro (WA), Georgia Nanscawen (VIC), Ashleigh Nelson (WA), no one can deny that sports lovers stop for two weeks. Megan Rivers (NSW), Jodie Schulz (QLD), Emily Smith (NSW), Jayde Taylor (WA) Recently in theWest Australian players were wondering who Reserves: Emily Hurtz (NSW) Ashleigh Wells (VIC) would carry the Australian flag. Not many will remember that in 1968 WA hockey great Eric Pearce carried the flag at the closing Men’s Olympic Team: ceremony of the Mexico Olympics. His world renown skills in four Olympic Games had been duly recognised. Nathan Burgers (QLD), Matthew Butturini (NSW), Joel Carroll (NT), Chris Ciriello (VIC), Tim Deavin (TAS), Liam De Young (QLD), Jamie WA and Australia had a very strong women’s team in the 50s Dwyer (QLD), Matt Gohdes (QLD), Kieran Govers (NSW), Fergus through to the 70s yet there was no women’s hockey team at the Kavanagh (WA), Mark Knowles (QLD), Eddie Ockenden (TAS), Olympics for six cycles until 1980.

Boyce broke into the Australian women’s hockey team at the 2009 Champions Trophy, proving she has a big engine and solid work ethic all over the park. Since her debut she has played an integral part in the team’s success and has a bright future as both an international hockey player and lawyer. Kobie McGurk Kobie McGurk was recognised as a world class athlete last year when she was named in the FIH’s prestigious World All Stars team. An experienced campaigner, McGurk is one of the toughest defenders in the world and adds a wealth of experience to the team with 165 games under her belt. Her determination and work ethic combined with her athletic ability has seen her excel against international opposition. McGurk played a key role at the Beijing Olympics and will be looking to bring her knowledge and fearless approach into the London Games. Hope Munro Considered one of the best midfielders in the world, Hope Munro took a break in 2006 and 2010 to start a family, but returned to the top of her game a year later on both occasions. The West Australian’s skill and experience has boosted the Australian women’s ranks and her presence on the field will be invaluable during the London Olympics. Munro’s brother is Kiel Brown, who is a member of the men’s national squad.

She is one of the more experienced players in the team and a constant performer. The leading goal scorer at the 2011 Australian Hockey League, the West Australian is a serious threat inside the attacking circle. She is an athletic striker and her leadership skills are a key aspect of her continued success with the Australian women’s team. Jayde Taylor An experienced campaigner, Jayde Taylor is a force to be reckoned with in defence. Taylor made her debut in 2010 at the age of 25. A fast defender with the ability to push forward, she has made up the contingent of leaders in the team. Taylor has played in the 2010 World Cup, Commonwealth Games, and 2011 Champions Trophy, and is looking to add an Olympic Games medal to her growing list of benchmark achievements. Fergus Kavanagh Fergus Kavanagh is an outstanding defender who played a key role during the Kookaburras Olympic campaign in Beijing. Hailing from Geraldton in WA, Kavanagh debuted for Australia at 2007 Azlan Shah Cup. He vividly remembers how fast paced the game was and in the searing Indian heat it was quite an introduction to international competition. Since then he has been a key member of the Kookaburras outfit, part of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Champions Trophy and 2010 World Cup victories. Off the pitch Kavanagh is quite the performer and if he wasn’t a professional athlete, he’d be a rock star or Broadway icon. According to Kavanagh if a movie was ever made about his life, he would be cast as the lead.

He remembers vividly the tingles up his spine when the national anthem was played and would love to experience that same emotion again. Since debuting for the Kookaburras against the Netherlands in 2007. Missing selection in the 2009 champions Trophy squad, his determination saw him rejoin the line-up at the 2010 World Cup where he performed strongly. Brown couldn’t live without his number one supporter, his wife Jess.

As a player, Charlesworth captained the Australian men’s hockey team and represented his country in five Olympics from 1972–1988, winning a silver medal in 1976. He went on to have a decorated career as a coach, leading the Australian women’s national team from 1993–2000.

Charlesworth took over the helm of the Australian men’s team in 2009 and is having the same success. He has coached the team to multiple Champions Trophy wins, World Cup and Commonwealth Games titles and Olympic gold is all that is left to conquer in London. Paul Gaudoin - Men’s Assistant Coach Gaudoin is a two-time Olympic medallist who represented his country for 11 years. He had a decorated career as former captain of the Australian men’s hockey team, playing at three Olympics. Gaudoin won bronze at the Atlanta and Sydney Olympics but withdrew on the eve of Athens Games where the team won gold, due to injury. Gaudoin was appointed assistant coach of the men’s team in 2010.

  • GDHC Red Rag May 2016
    MAY, 2016 GLEBE DISTRICT HOCKEY CLUB THE RED RAG A Champion Club, A Club of Champions President Report I reported last year in our August Red Rag, the following: “As reported in the April Red Rag, the club has been asked to look at our current management structures/constitution. I advised then that the process was underway and I can confirm that this is still the case. We should be able to review the changes for recommendation at the final management committee meeting of the year in October, to then have as an agenda item on this year’s AGM (December). I look forward to getting this across the line.” Well, a few things got in the way of that process, but we are now working towards definitely restructuring the club’s management for consideration at this year’s AGM. There will be no real change to the operations of the club in terms of the management positions in place, rather, the primary change is the reduction in the numbers of the people that make up the management committee. At present, the club’s constitution allows for 13 people on the management committee – we will be looking to reduce that number to around 6 or 7 for better efficiencies, with those moving off the management committee, in general terms, simply reporting in to the new committee members. This is in line with other clubs and other sporting bodies and will enable our committee at its meetings to look at more significant issues rather than many of the day to day operational issues of the club which occurs now.
