State League 2009Heidelberg Men at Good NeighbourAfter taking out the Victorian State League championship in a convincing 3-0 win over Falcons, the Honours Men entered the Good Neighbour tournament in Canberra on November 27-29 with the view of testing themselves against the best club teams in the country. Unfortunately, teams from SA and QLD chose not to enter, making the competition essentially a two horse race between Heidelberg and the AIS (who sported a few current Australian representatives) In the round matches, the AIS struggled to keep up with Heidelberg’s fast-paced game and Heidelberg won 2-1. This was the only match that the AIS lost and Heidelberg went undefeated in the round matches. In the final, however, the advantage of superior recovery and analysis gave the AIS the jump, taking the gold medal 3-0.

Congratulations to Michael and the Heidelberg Mens Honors team for the match they played on Monday 3rd August against Tian Jin Polytechnic University from China. The high standard of the game and the professional manner in which it was played was a great credit to Michael, the players and the club. Played in front of a good spectator crowd at Melbourne Uni, Heidelberg won the match 3 – 0. Coady’s captaincy was exemplary and while aftermatch comments were about the quality of team spirit and teamwork everyone seemed agreed that Roger’s performance was a stand-out one!
