Tomas Tait has been doing well playing in Victorian Country's over 40 division two team at the Australian Veterans Hockey Championships.
The side has won three out of five games and will play in the finals.
Chris Thompson has been at the same tournament playing for Victoria Country's over 55 division two team, which has won all five of its games with one more to play, but will definitely play finals.
I will have a full report from both of them for next week's article.
Aaron Kennett and John Webster have returned from an "awesome" hockey tour with The Country Victorian Under 17 Team on a tour of Singapore and Malaysia.
