Introducing Julian Raymond Dwyer...
Two weekends ago was one that I will definitely never forget.
Sunday 12 April was different to my normal Sunday because it was the birth of my first child, Julian Raymond Dwyer.
It’s an amazing feeling and all the cliches are definitely true. He was born at 17.37 and weighed 3.53kg. Both my wife and I are very, very proud, and both mum and Julian are doing great.
Unfortunately, I did not get to go to the European Hockey League (EHL) in Hamburg, but Bloemendaal are through to the semis against Rotterdam which is in Rotterdam on 30-31 June.
In the other semi-final, Belgium team KHC Leuven will play former champions from Germany UHC Hamburg. I’m looking forward to that weekend as this is my first time playing in the EHL.
I also missed out on the Australian Hockey League, which was in Tasmania and, to be honest, I really missed it. It would have been nice to play with my mates and my younger cousin, Matt Gohdes, but just like the EHL I was busy with the birth of my child - which I would not have missed for the world!
Once again, my team the Queensland Blades were in the final for the eighth year in a row. But unfortunately we lost the final to WA 2-1.
Last weekend, Bloemendaal played against Tilburg. Once again we didn’t play to our potential but we had a 2-1 win and three points in the pocket.
We are now four points in front of Oranje Zwart with two games to go. The game started off pretty good and we had a two-nil lead and then we stopped playing and Tilburg decided to take some more risks and we got away with a win.
We need to start finding some form before the play-offs which are in three weeks time. I’m sure we can as we have the players to do it when we need it.
I would rather play bad and win than play good and lose. I think its a sign of a good team. The disappointing thing is that we are not playing to our standard.
Hopefully we will raise to the occasion which is just around the corner. We will soon find out.
Until next time...
Cheers Jamie
