I grew up in Rockhampton and started playing hockey at four. My career highlight was winning an Olympic Gold in Athens 2004 with the Kookaburras and scoring the winning goal. I play for HC Bloemendaal in Holland

First competition match after the winter break
Hi everyone,

I woke up pretty early last Sunday morning because it was game day and I hadn’t played a competitive game since  the Dutch came to Australia, so I was feeling pretty excited.

Playing against my good mates Luke [
Doerner] and Eddie [Ockendenand], I really didn’t want to lose because I would never hear the end off it for a long, long time.

Every Sunday my team meet at someone’s house, close to where we play, for a drink, a bite to eat and the team meeting.

We had a very good training week and all the guys were pretty keen and eager to actually play a game. The game plan was very easy: don’t give away too many corners and stop Eddie.

After the team meeting we go to the ground about an hour before the game, get our gear on and then we’re ready to go.

The game was not the most entertaining and both teams were a bit rusty, but we ended up winning 4-2 which was good.

The highlight of the game was when our youngest player, Riki, who is 16, scored his first goal for Bloemendaal. I think its the first of many to come.

Overall it was a pretty good weekend. We got the three points and are still on top of the table. The weather is also getting better so I can actually feel my hands when I play now which is nice.

I’ll keep in touch.
Jamie
