Springfield Hockey Club

💗 Save the Date – Positive Vibes Only Day! 💗

On Saturday 25 July, Kensington Park will turn pink as Hockey, Football, Netball and Rugby come together to celebrate Positive Vibes Only (PVO) Day.

Positive Vibes Only is about creating a fun, supportive, and respectful sporting environment for everyone. Whether you're a player, coach, official, whānau member, or supporter, we all have a part to play in making sport a positive experience.

PVO encourages sidelines filled with encouragement, respect, and enjoyment—helping young people build confidence, thrive, and develop a lifelong love of sport.

Throughout the day, our PVO Champions will be out and about celebrating positive sideline behaviour and helping spread the positive vibes.

So wear your pink, bring your positivity, and join us in making Kensington Park a place where everyone enjoys the game.

Big congratulations to our young northland men and women.

Well done on todays results and for making the top 8!

One of the best things about game day is seeing so many Springfield hoodies, jackets, and other club merchandise around the turf. It really shows the pride and spirit of our amazing club!

The best part? You can personalise your hoodie with your very own name or nickname, just like these awesome ones!

There is something for everyone, including:
🏑 Hoodies
🏑 Vests
🏑 Long Sleeve Shirts
🏑 Polos
🏑 Beanies

Even if you already have a favourite jacket, bag, or clothing item? You can still rep the club by adding our Springfield logo.

Show your Springfield pride on and off the turf let's turn the sidelines into a sea of Springfield, both players and supporters.

Our D2 ladies were absolutely ON POINT today and the energy was unreal! Tupz and Judy completely turned the heat up—Judy unleashed a absolute rocket of a shot up front to smash one in, and then Tupz followed it up with the sneakiest little postie you’ve ever seen! Boom, 2-0 win just like that!

Honestly, the teamwork out there today was beautiful to watch. The girls pulled together and moved like one absolute unit on the field. Hora Hora honestly didn't even stand a chance! We were clearing it flawlessly from the back, slicing straight through the midfield, and just peppering their goal with shot after shot after shot.

Choosing Player of the Day is going to be damn near impossible because literally everyone brought their absolute A-game today

What a game! locking in a very well deserved 2-1 victory over Hora Hora in an absolute nail-biter!

This team just refuses to back down. After a fiercely contested first half, these players came back out firing. We had complete controlled the second half, putting on a masterclass of composure and executing some beautiful, fluid progression right through the middle of the field.

The score line was close, but what an exciting game to watch. Well done to our men.

I say it all the time, but this young group blows me away week in and week out. 🌟

The final score doesn’t always reflect the incredible game these players actually put on the field, but scoreboard aside, their heart is unmatched. Even when things don’t go our way, they keep their heads held high, refuse to back down, and show up with the kind of sportsmanship that leaves everyone watching in awe.

Win or lose, they play with respect, grit, and a true love for the game. The future is so incredibly bright for this group, what a journey to be part of.
