Year 13 Leavers Alex Lloyd was a member of the 1st XI for five years, including three Rankin Cup tournaments, one South Island tournament, and 96 matches. Alex would have reached the significant achievement of 100 games for the 1st XI had the Rankin Cup tournament not been cancelled because of Covid-19 in 2021. This year, Alex was co-captain. A skilled midfield player, Alex’s work rate was second-to-none. He was able to both push up on attack as well as be a key person in defence, making critical tackles when required. Alex was also a member of the Canterbury U18 team which finished runner-up at the national tournament in July. Alex was awarded Colours in hockey in 2021 and 2022. Tim Seeto was a member of the 1st XI for four years, including two Rankin Cup tournaments, one South Island tournament, and 84 matches. This year, Tim was co-captain. A hugely talented striker with a big work rate, Tim was an essential part of the team’s attack where he used his skill and speed to score and set up goals. In his 84 matches, he scored an impressive 56 goals. In 2022, he scored 21 goals in 22 games. He was also a member of the Canterbury U18 team, which finished runner-up at the national tournament in July. Tim was awarded Colours in hockey in 2021 and 2022. Johnny Bullen was a member of the 1st XI for three years, including one Rankin Cup tournament, one South Island tournament, and 58 matches. He was a tireless worker in the midfield, with his selfless running and work put in on the field contributing to the team’s success. He made key tackles and could transition from defence to attack (and back again) with ease. He was an unsung hero in the team. Hugh Duston was a member of the 1st XI for three years, including one Rankin Cup tournament, one South Island tournament, and 35 matches. He was a selfless member of the team who put the needs of the team before his own and always carried

out his role with 100% effort. His work rate was immense and he was often left to do the grunt work which some people did not always notice – but the coaches did. Josh Garland was a member of the 1st XI over three seasons, including one Rankin Cup tournament, one South Island tournament, and 27 matches. He only started being a keeper in Year 10, so his development in the position has been significant. He kept the team in tight games several times this season with some impressive saves, and worked well with fellow goalie Zach Adams, being able to share games seamlessly. James Griffin was a member of the 1st XI for three seasons, including one South Island tournament and 36 matches. During this time, he was part of the team’s attack, where he linked well with his fellow strikers and always created pressure on the opposition defence. James was a very skilful player whose spirit and enthusiasm on and off the field contributed to the team culture and success. Will Morris was a member of the 1st XI for three seasons, including one South Island tournament and 25 games. During this time, he was part of the team’s attack, where his extreme pace put a lot of defences under pressure. Will always gave 100% effort on the field and did so in a positive and enthusiastic manner. He remained strongly committed, even after his non-selection for tournament. This was a true testament to his character. Year 12 Leaver Oscar Chaffey was a member of the 1st XI for two years and played 31 matches. He was a positive member of the team who always carried out his role with 100% effort. Playing in the back four he made key tackles and was a positive link between defence and attack. Off the field, Oscar’s nature was such that he fitted into the team culture well, contributing to the team both on and off the field. Darrell Thatcher MiC/Manager
