Sean in action (above)

This weekend, two stalwarts of the Hawthorn Hockey Club play in milestone matches of the highest order. Please join me in congratulating Sean Jenner on his 200th State League One match, and Charlie Tulloch on his 150th.

Their achievement of 200 and 150 games in State League One do not capture games that Sean and Charlie played in Hawthorn’s top team in the mid to late-90’s, when they started playing state league three and two hockey. They worked for five years to lead the hawks from State League Three to State League One, winning a SL3 and a SL2 premiership for the club along the way. Charlie won club B&F awards in 1998 and 1999.

Since 2000, these lads have gone on to play a further 200 and 150 games in SL1, and were a massive part of the club’s recent successes. They played a big part in bringing Hawthorn to the top of the Victorian club ladder and cementing Hawthorn’s place in the top 3 in the SL1 every year between 2003 and 2008, the year in which Hawthorn won the SL1 Premiership.

Sean has played in 15 SL1 finals with the Hawks and Charlie has played in 13.

These two have been a long-time feature of our top side, playing positive and exciting hockey.

I look forward to seeing the HHC community out in force this Sunday afternoon, at 5pm at the SHC, to cheer them on and make it a truly special occasion.

Up the Hawks!

Cam Johnson, Men’s President.
