Wagin had a very successful 2011 season, though players were left disappointed when both the men's and women's teams lost their grand finals.

After last week’s annual general meeting there have been a few changes to the hockey club line-up, with Amber Ness stepping up to take over the presidency and Dwight Kellow at her side as vice-president.

Dale Lloyd resigned from president and has stepped into the secretary’s position, taking over from Terri Spooner who has done a superb job over the last few years.

Emily Holt again took on the job as treasurer and will continue the excellent work she did last year.

This year the women's A-grade team will again be looking to continue as a dominant force in the Upper Great Southern Association.

They have quite a few returning players and Paul Lydiate is again taking on the coaching role.

Any ladies interested in playing A-grade are asked to contact Paul Lydiate.

Wagin also looks set to nominate a women's B-grade team again this year.

Although last year wasn't a huge success for the B-grade women, it was a great opportunity for those new to the game, or possibly lacking fitness, to enjoy the game.

The women now have some much needed experience and, with added coaching support from Dale Lloyd and Dwight Kellow, exciting times are ahead.

Anyone that is interested in playing women’s B-grade is asked to contact Dale Lloyd or Kerry Riseborough.

The men, after fielding two B-grade teams last year, again have a lot of numbers to choose from.

With at least 21 players putting their hand up to play, there are already too many players to nominate a single B-grade team.

This year the association will not allow Wagin to nominate two B-grade teams, which forces Wagin to tell players they can no longer play hockey, or to nominate an A-grade and a B-grade team.
