Melton’s next generation turned their attention to indoor hockey over the summer breaks.
The Mustangs had three sides play in the Hockey Victoria junior indoor challenge.
President Matthew Simpson said it was great to see all their junior indoor players improve their skills during the season.
It was the first time the club had entered teams in the competition with sides in under-12s, under-14s and under-16s.
“The players had to play against some strong teams which is hard but to their credit they did not drop their heads or give up which shows how resilient they are,” he said.
“These teams never had trained nor played together. They did an awesome job.
“The under-12s had 15 teams in their comp and finished sixth, the under-14s had eight teams in their competition and finished second and the under-16s had six teams in their competition and finished first.
“Having this level of success for our club is amazing.
“For me as chairperson, indoor coordinator and a parent it is very rewarding to see. This shows that all the time and effort that has been put into our junior section by everyone involved has been a major part in these results.”
It comes after the club had sides in Hockey Victoria indoor competition late last year with five teams across boys and girls competition.
The under-14 girls team claimed first in their competition, while the under-14 boys finished second, the under-16 mixed and under-12 girls finished fifth and the under-12 boys finished eighth.
Simpson said they wouldn’t be able to have the success they had without all the coaches and volunteers.
