Subscriber only PREPARING to return to part-time teaching, Wests sharpshooter Amy Kickbusch delivered a wonderful lesson in playing sport when you can, while you can. Despite feeling the effects of her first game back in A-Grade this season, the popular Ipswich mum was pleased to have returned. The body has definitely changed but it was nice to come back and have a game with the girls, Kickbusch said. I really enjoyed it.

Subscriber only CELEBRATING her first national success as head coach, Sara Rogers also has a better understanding of what the NRL and AFL teams are enduring during COVID restrictions. After initially fearing the Queensland under-18 women would miss the latest Australian hockey tournament in Tasmania, Rogers oversaw the team s unbeaten performance. Queensland won the gold medal match against Victoria after sudden death shootouts. That was Queensland s sixth victory to go with a 0-0 draw with NSW in the qualifying rounds. But just to get to Launceston to contest the championships was a feat in itself. Just before Easter, the Greater Brisbane area including Ipswich went into the three-day lockdown.
Premium Content GOALKEEPERS can face an attacking onslaught at the best of times. But when it s against the Norths A-Grade men s strike force, repelling rocket-like shots is even more difficult. That s why Easts goalkeeper Seth Bolton was widely praised after his latest performance at the Ipswich Hockey Complex. Although Easts lost 4-0, the scoreline could easily have been double that or in triple figures if not for Bolton s gritty display. Bolton had a superb game, rejecting multiple Norths shots, especially from penalty corners masterminded by Queensland under-21 sharpshooter Zac Profke. Profke managed to fire two past Bolton along with a double by Aidan Buckley.
