CANTERBURY TEAMS WIN STATE FINALS in Launceston

Canterbury A Reserve Women headed to Launceston on a small bus on Josie Crowden’s 18th birthday without Captain Emma Seddon and welcoming back Alison Parodi to the goalkeeping role.

With the bare 11 we took on Burnie Baptist for the State title.

We wasted no time in posting a goal when Carrie Blanton touched in a Julia Baxter shot from the top of the circle. A second goal followed soon after with a short corner variation from Ione Patten to Sarah McRobbie on the post. Not to be out done Lucy Clark ended a superb season with a low back stick goal from the top of the circle.  3 Nil, 3 Nil we sang on the bus back to Hobart!!

Canterbury 3rd Grade Men (propped up by a number of 4th graders) but only with the bare 11 players took on South Launceston for the state final.  Despite having most of the possession they were unable to convert into goals until late in the first half and took a 1-0 lead into half time.  The second half followed the pattern of the first with the second goal of the game coming 20 mins into the second half with a good goal to Tristan Birch.  With South Launie having 5 subs the Canterbury team started to tire in the spring heat but held on for well deserved 2-0 win.

WOMENS MASTERS INVITATIONAL

Australia and New Zealand were represented across 5 age groups, ranging from over 35's to over 55's, with England sending a team to compete in the o/40's age group.

Tasmania was well represented with 5 players selected to compete for their country and 3 of those were Canterbury club members.
Lynne Trustum represented the o/55's, Peri Buckley (Co-Captain) represented the o/50's and Sarah Booker (Co-Captain) represented the o/35's.
Each age group played 4 games over a 6 day period.

The tournament concluded with Australia making a clean sweep of all their last round games on Day 6 to make up for some disappointing losses earlier in the week. The o/35's took away the title with a thrilling finish ending in a shoot out. At the conclusion of the 4 test series Australia were overall winners in the o/35's and o/45's divisions and New Zealand in the o/40's, o/50's and o/55's divisions. Australia o/40's had a 2 - 1 win against England in the Nottingham Ashes Cup.

A big congratulations to our 3 Australian representatives in Lynne, Peri and Sarah for doing Canterbury proud.

Parking restrictions at THC

Cars parked in any of the 12 reserved spots inside the ticket booth gate at any time must be displaying a THC parking permit for 2010. Cars parked in this area without a permit will have a sticker placed on their windscreen, number plates will be recorded and repeat offenders will be followed up.
Stickers will also be placed on the windscreens of any cars parked in the yellow exclusion zones or of cars parked inappropriately and/or impeding access for others.
This is very important as emergency vehicles such as ambulances need a clear right of way. Once again number plates will be recorded and repeat offenders will be followed up.
On A - pool game days or when there is a gatekeeper present, the area inside the ticket booth gate will again be for parking permit holders only. Please do not try to park in this area without a pass as the gatekeepers have been instructed not to allow you entry.

Canterbury Vision and Mission Statements

Our new vision statement sets a goal or an ideal that the club would like to achieve.  The goal identified in a vision statement should be ambitious and therefore only achieveable with a lot of hard work.  A mission statement identifies those things that help us achieve the vision.  The vision and mission statement created by the Canterbury committee can be viewed by clicking here.
