Ms SPENCE (Yuroke) (10:03:11) — It gives me great pleasure to inform the house of a trifecta of sporting achievements in my electorate of Yuroke, with the Hume Hockey Club, the Craigieburn City Football Club and the Greenvale Football Club all successful in winning senior premierships this year.

The Greenvale Football Club were successful in winning the reserves premier division, as well as the senior thirds premiership. Amazingly the reserves went undefeated all year long to make it 20 consecutive wins. This makes it their fourth premiership in the last six years. Congratulations to all involved, especially president Bruce Kent, who leads this club with distinction.

Craigieburn City Football Club secured the State League 5 North premiership, with a remarkable 18-0 score against Thornbury. A huge congratulations to club president Paul Dugo, coach Michael Loche, players, families and friends. This club will shortly move to its new ground, and I cannot wait to see all the future success that they will have.

And lastly, to bring in the trifecta, the Hume Hockey Club, based in Craigieburn, was successful in winning its first senior championship in an extra time shootout. How exciting to win this 3-2 in the club’s first year. The championship title is well-deserved, and with a new pavilion opening later this year what a great time to be involved in the growing Hume Hockey Club. Congratulations to president Paul Bissett and secretary Haydon Whitten.

I take this opportunity to thank and congratulate all involved in these premierships. You have made the Yuroke community very proud. Well done.
