ACT Hockey—presentations
Brindabella Blues football club
MR DOSZPOT (Brindabella) (4.33): In my capacity as shadow minister for sport and recreation, I have over the last couple of weeks attended a number of sporting activities. First of all, on Wednesday, 8 September, I was a guest of Hockey ACT for the 2010 Brophy and McKay medals presentation evening. The evening celebrated player, team, coach and administrative excellence and culminated with the announcement of the Brophy and McKay medal winners. The evening also celebrated the 50th anniversary of the presentation of the Brophy medal.

The size of the club became quite apparent to me, as the presentations took all day to complete. From 8.30 in the morning to 3.30 in the afternoon, there was a steady stream of young players receiving their trophies for the year. My congratulations to all involved at the club—players, officials, parents and referees. It is always a pleasure to be invited to hand out the hundreds of trophies and to be able to share in the
