 “Off-Season Escapades”
Our very own Secretary, and former South African Under 21 representative hockey player, Nicky Paterson, made a comeback to the hockey field on Sunday 6 July, after a desperate call for help from Jess “Davo” Davidson, Manager of one of the Gordon Hockey sides, the night before. Nicky suited up as Goalie, or more accurately was dressed by several others, as she struggled in to the gear and out on to the field. Once out there though she slotted right back in to the swing of things making a couple of diving and sliding saves (all for the camera!).
Highlights of the match:
* Madam Secretary making a sliding save, and in the progress taking out an opposition player who then had to be carried from the field (Bully!!!)
* Davo being yellow carded (sin-binned) for 10 minutes for having an “inappropriate conversation with the umpire”. There were less than 10 minutes on the clock at the time so young Davo took no further part in the game…….. bad Davo! For the record, the “Hockey Reds” defeated Ryde 2-0. Stand-by for updates on whether the Secretary was able to move the next day |
