Some national country championship on in Shepparton atm.
Called in and looked at QLD v WA mens.

1st live game I've seen.

I'm impressed

As expected retirements coming forth post olympics. Florian Fuchs called time on his international career. Great player to watch.

Hopefully the Aus Hockey One season can proceed, going to be hard to manage with the semi pro nature of players and border closures etc

When are they going to have the Oceania Cup? Can't see it happening next month.

Womens World Cup time. Aka Netherlands and daylight.

Watched our game this morning. We’ve been very much a part time National team (even more so than normal given lack of domestic hockey in this country until next h1 season) lately and it showed. 2 nil win over Japan but one of those was at the end after they pulled their goalie.

The Aussie men lost the World Cup semi to Germany. Were we favourites?

Hockey World Cup: Germany beats Australia 4-3 to enter HWC final for the first time in 13 years

After missing out on the finals in 2014 and 2018, Germany marked its return in style beating World No. 1 Australia with a convincing win in the semifinal.

Wouldn't have been the top favorite but that was a bad, bad way to lose a semi
