UTS Hockey Club 2001
Novelty Awards

First Aid Award
Nominations:

Damien Deefholts - breaking ankle whilst running out to umpire
Bruce Sutton - knee ligaments, whilst dancing drunk, tried to lift Reita above his head. Also pulled quad muscles after return from knee injury
Mel Howie - broken toe after friend drove over it
James Telfer - shattered collarbone after being cut in half by Glebe prick, proceeded to collapse in shock on the sideline.
Fiona Budd - knee exploded, premature end to hockey career. Got to wear a very impressive knee brace, though
Matt Pine - ankle exploded, entire lower leg went black from bruising.
Sonny Chadha - knocked out own teeth whilst fart-arsing around at training - save the cricket shots for summer, Sonny
Germany - name 1 week when all the Germans took the field?
Paul Kelly - his pulled groin has yet to heal - he should leave it alone and give it some rest!
Greg Doolan - Another broken hand, whilst taking the field for 2 minutes during a 3rd grade game.
Andrew Eagleton - copped a serious blow in the genital area from a hockey stick, so much so that he had carried off the field and could not return for the duration of the match. What made it extra painful? It was also his birthday and you could tell that the magic glint in his eye disappeared as the likelihood of birthday sex was suddenly made impossible.

Winner: Andrew Eagleton

Woosie Milk Scull
Nominations:

Jason Selby - receiving yellow card for telling the umpire "don't point at me".
Justin Nelson - leaving ALL his hockey gear at home for the last game of the season.
Brendan Garard - after a wild 1st year with the club in 2000, party-man Biff was missing-in-action and under the thumb in 2001, coming out with the boys on only 2 occasions, drinking Hahn Lights for the short duration of his stay.
Mens 2nd Grade - never collecting balls after pre-game warm-up, 6 dozen balls missing, presumed lost.

Winner: Biff


Dummy Spit
Nominations:

Ian Litchfield - consistency during year, 6 yellow cards can't be wrong
Adele Cotton and Gin Peadon - after losing semi final, sticks and goalie gear reached the dugout well before they did.
Chris Garbe - played just 4 games but had umpires scurrying for their English-German dictionaries to find out what he was calling them
Megan Taylor - not happy with too many corner variations
Damien Deefholts - also unhappy during games whenever a corner variation did not involve him, and also whenever he failed to win a free hit with one of his trademark dives "Wot?!? No Way!"
Paul Kelly - a few sticks thrown this year, one into the Child Care centre at Ryde. Plus his own "Wot?!? No Way!" which earned a yellow card in Round 1 vs Ryde.
Steve Gellatly - that fiery Scottish blood finally rushed to Stevie's head when he encouraged the umpire to give him a red card "Go on you arsehole, give me a red card then" he said, as walked from the field - for 4 weeks.

Winner: Steve Gellatly

Golden Spade
Nominations:

Rob McGrory - trying to pick-up some young chicks in Albury, was rejected with a "Get lost, old man" call from across the street.
Phil Taylor - The Goat was always out there trying, with in depth questions on uni, career plans, and life in general. And who could ever forget his pick-up line from last year's Uni Games - "Hi, they call me the Goat - I eat anything".
The Sharkies - a team coached by "Sailor Boy" Nathan Gilbert. After meeting their coach for the first time, the entire team arrived at the next training decked out in tight singlets and skimpy shorts. You could hear their "oohs" and "aahs" every time Nathan bent over to pick-up a ball. If the coach didn't appreciate the flesh in display, the mens 1st graders training up the other end of the pitch certainly did!
Garry Welsman - Gazza had hundreds of people sleep in his bed throughout the season, yet failed to score even once.

Winner: The Sharkies


Bushpig
Nominations:

Nathan Gilbert - various social snogs and party pashes, at numerous events, including a dominating performance at one farewell party that springs to mind.
Dave Gilbert - threw out the challenge to his younger brother with a solid and repetitious performance in Albury. Was also seen to dominate at that farewell party.
Claire Larter - For the following conversation:
CL: "Who is he, anyway"
Reply: "He's the 1st grade goalkeeper"
CL: "Great, he'll do"
Carl Strautins - Tooney was in sensational form at the recent University Games in Sydney, making great use of the timber board-walk and gardens outside Chinta Ria in Darling Harbour, the toilets inside nightclubs, and any other dimly lit areas. Was he led astray by a previous Bushpig winner? What's the go with that, eh?
Matt Carson - wound back the clock with a passionate display of pashing at the state Uni Games in Coffs Harbour. His behaviour earned 2 young girls their new nicknames of "entrée" and "slops"

Winner: Tooney

Beerfish
Nominations:

Peter Marlin - The Fish had to be dragged from underneath a toilet door after passing out at Uni Games, Coffs Harbour. Does not remember getting home, and still does not know how he woke up in his own bed when he didn't have a key.
Virginia Peadon - 2nd grade 'keeper played every game with a hangover, except for the finals - should not have changed the night-before warm-up.
Bruce Sutton - if there is one thing more certain than a Wallaby victory over the All Blacks, it's the weekly sight of Bruiser, drinking jugs at VC Bar, picking fights, getting kicked-out of Jacksons (which is no mean feat) and stumbling out of Burger King with half a Whopper smeared across his face. Consistent and large performances throughout the year.
Anita Cambridge - Wiped herself out at Cath's 21st, but recovered enough to fight on at VCs later on in the evening, with head on a table and eyes struggling to stay open.
James Telfer, Rob Pickering and Stuart Carruthers - a group nomination for these old family guys, who obviously don't get out that often, but when they do, they do it in style. James even managed to spill an entire beer over one of his 3rd graders at the Beach party in May.

Winner: Bruiser.
