Congratulations to the U10s, who won the Development competition for their age group at the big Inverleith tournament at Peffermill today.
The U12s and U15s were both mid-table for their respective agegroups. The U12s, however, won hands down on the best team photo competition.

A group of British workmen surveys the scene as one of their number starts to do maintenance work on the new Kinross hockey pitch.
Gurdi took part in the Kinross Sportive the other day and raised £100, which he has donated to the club. Well done Gurdi!
The Under-12s team still haven't got the hang of team photos.
Mind you, the warmups aren't much cop either.
As the picture below shows, it was a glittering affair at the Annual Dinner last night. There was lots of silverware to hand out and here, for those who missed the evening, is the roll of honour.

As you know, the AGM took place last night. The turnout was somewhat limited (guys, where were you?) so for those who were not there, here are the appointments for next season
President: Gurdi Duhre
VP: Gail Nelson
Club Secy: Claire Brownbridge
Treasurer: Andrew Montford
Mens Club Captain: Chris Robson
Ladies CC: Lindsey Broderick-Knight
Social: Kirsty Dunn
Mens Secretary: Ralph Hepburn
Ladies Secretary: Susie McIntyre
CPO: Michelle Best
Junior Convenor: Andrew McIntyre
M1s captains - tbc
M2s captains - Simon Williams, (Ralph Hepburn vice)
L1s captains - Amy Weatherup, (Lynn Jack vice)
L2s captains - Wendy Marshall, (Catherine Wray vice)
The two issues arising are the captaincy of the M1s. Alex Ingram has offered to do on an interim basis, but he doesn't know if he will be playing in Kinross next season, so the men's section will need to be thinking about alternative arrangements.
In addition, the possibility of having two social convenors - one from the men's section and one from the ladies - has been raised. We really need someone from the men's section to step forwards here.
...and then six come along at once. Congratulations to Kirsty Dunn, Claire Brownbridge, Andrew Montford, Ralph Hepburn, and Andy and David McIntyre, who all passed their umpire assessments last night.
The club has pledged £50 to the Scottish Hockey men's team fundraising drive. The Bluesticks have qualified for the World League semi-finals in London in June, where they will get to play big hockey nations like the Netherlands and India.
If the fundraising drive is successful then a lucky KHC member can be a mascot at an international game in Glasgow in August.
If anyone else wants to bung a few quid in the Bluesticks pot, the donations page is here.
Last night saw the official opening of the new pitch. This was a chance to thank everyone who had helped bring the project to fruition, and in particular our donors and sponsors.
The honours were done by Gail and current Scotland international Gavin Byers. Thanks to all the KHC members who came down to show their appreciation.
