Hockey players snare State selection

Lower South East Hockey Association punching above its weight in junior State teams

Five young Mount Gambier and Naracoorte hockey players were last month announced in the School Sports SA Under 12 side, to play in the School Sports Championships in Tasmania this August.

The group will travel to Hobart to compete in a week long competition which will see them up against the best juniors from all over the country.

Kade McCourt, Jesse Mitchell, Jada Copping , Rubi Watson and Harriet Waters were all selected to represent SA after they impressed at the recent trials held in Adelaide.

It is terrific representation for the Lower and Upper South East regions, and shows the strength of local junior hockey, with all five athletes competing in the Under 12 and Under 15 competitions in Mount Gambie as part of the Lower South East Hockey Association.
