Sunday 27th February saw Easts congregate at Kyeemagh hockey pitch in greater numbers than ever before for a preseason trials day.
There was plenty of talent on show, despite this being the first time anyone had picked up a stick in around six months, giving the captains a very welcome headache when it comes to selection for the upcoming season. Energy levels were high and, although many people were playing together for the first time, the teams managed to display some slick passing moves and defensive organisation.
Thanks to all for attending and hopefully the enthusiasm and commitment will continue through the pre season program and into the season ahead. Special mentions to Justin, Jabba and Nick Whiteway for their contributions to the organisation on the day.
It was also great to see so many people settle effortlessly into the long-standing Easts tradition of a well-earned post-match beer!
All initial signs are pointing to a promising year for the Eastern Suburbs!
