Bathurst Hockey Association

🌻 SUNFLOWER ROUND IS HERE! 🌻

From 24–26 July, we're inviting our entire hockey community to wear a splash of colour in support of a cause close to your heart.
Whether it's blue, pink, yellow, purple, green, or another colour that means something to you, let's fill our fields with colour while supporting Bathurst's Daffodil Cottage and the incredible work they do for local families.

💛 Every donation made across the weekend will go directly to Bathurst's Daffodil Cottage.
Bring your colour, support a great cause, and let's show what our hockey community is all about—coming together for something bigger than the game.

🌻 Sunflower Round | 24–26 July 📍 Donations supporting Bathurst's Daffodil Cottage 💛 Wear your colour. Play with purpose. Support our community.

WORKSHOP POSTPONED 🚩
🏑 Ever thought about picking up the whistle?

Whether you're a current umpire, a player wanting to learn more, a parent looking to get involved, or simply someone wanting to build confidence on the field, we'd love to see you at our upcoming Umpire Development Workshop.

This session is designed to be welcoming, practical and supportive, helping participants better understand the game, improve positioning and decision-making, and grow confidence in a positive environment.

No matter where you're starting from, there's a place for you.

Strong umpires help create strong hockey communities, and we're excited to continue growing ours together. 🏑💛

🏑 Community. Connection. Hockey. 🏑

Over the past few weeks we've seen plenty of great moments around the turf. Players developing new skills, teams building confidence, volunteers giving their time, and our hockey community continuing to grow.

These are the moments that make Bathurst Hockey special.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributes to our game, whether you're on the field, on the sideline, behind the whistle or helping behind the scenes.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone back under lights on Friday night and back at the fields on Saturday for another great weekend of hockey.

Please note there will be no Women's 1st Grade fixture this Sunday due to the general bye weekend.

Enjoy some of our favorite moments from the past few weeks and tag someone you spot in the photos 💙

💛 Vale Mandy Griffiths 💛

Bathurst Hockey Association extends its sincere condolences to Mandy's family, friends and the South Bathurst Hockey Club community.

Mandy's kindness, dedication and love for hockey touched many across our association, and her contribution to our community will be remembered by generations of players, volunteers and families. Smiling Warrior reached beyond our association to many others.

This weekend, we invite players from all clubs to wear a splash of yellow in Mandy's honour. Yellow ribbons and tape will be available at the fields (and dugouts) for anyone wishing to take part.

A celebration of Mandy's life will be held on Monday, 22 June.

Forever part of our hockey family. 🌻🏑💛
