The Croydon Ranges Hockey Club juniors travelled east last week to take on the Cardinia Storm at home in what was an historic event for the host club.
Having never hosted its two junior teams at home before, the Storm were out to prove themselves but the Ranges were too strong for the under 12 side.
The juniors play on a half-pitch to improve their skills and understanding of the game’s structure before advancing to a full pitch.
A Croydon Hockey Club was first established in 1954, with the closest club at the time in Camberwell.
Despite seeing changes over the many decades, Croydon Ranges has been a strong competitor across the outer eastern competition.
