About

In 2010, Swifts Hockey’s second premiership was won by the A grade women, led into a hot victory by Brendan Smith (Smithy). Continuing the winning path in 2010 & 2011 and again 2 years running in 2013 & 2014. A grade also shared the combined Ipswich/Toowoomba cup. Our R2 team were mid-season winners, minor premiers and runners up.

​

In 2011, welcomed a double premiership by both A grade and finally out Reserve grade teams. A grade were mid-season winners, minor premiers and premiers. Swifts A grade again shared the combined Ipswich/Toowoomba cup. Reserve grade ladies were mid-season winners and premiers winning in an emotionally intense extra time win, going down drop offs getting to the remaining 3 players before Sheree Brown scored the winning goal.

​

In 2012, Swifts A grade were the only team to make the final, being mid-season winners, minor premiers and runners up, and again winners on the combined Ipswich/Toowoomba cup. Reserve and R2 went through rebuilding phases.

In 2013, A grade were back in top, dominating the year by being mid-season winners, minor premiers and premiers, and once again sharing the combined Ipswich/Toowoomba cup. Reserve grade were minor premiers and defeated Norths to become premiers once again, with Cristle Petersen & current President Kirsty Lenaghan (Lenny) co-coaches, saw the win in an exciting shoot out with Kirsty (Lenny) scoring the decider in sudden death shoot outs. R2 were mid-season winners but unfortunately were runners up.

 

In 2014, saw all 4 trams make the finals A, Reserve, R2 and A2 teams. There was a trio of premierships, hard fought by A grade, Reserve grade and R2 women, unfortunately A2 were runners up. A grade captain Ammo, along with Coach Mark Sharrard, aided in the premiership win. With Swifts R2 also being minor premiers.

​

In 2015, Swifts experienced another rebuilding phase, Reserve grade were mid-season winners, minor premiers and runners up, R2 grade were minor premiers.

In 2016, saw the 10 year anniversary of Swifts Hockey Club and a gutsy A grade team play against Wests in a battle of battles grand final, with the leadership skills of an injured Megan Bool (Bools) in a horrendous weather conditions Swifts were sadly defeated. However Reserve grade managed to secure the premiership in a game that saw a terrible injury and many tears of joy and pride for our club. Captained & coached by Kirsty Lenaghan (Lenny). Concurring over Wests 3-2 with the winning goal scored in the last minutes.

​

In 2017, Swifts Reserve and R2 teams both won premierships. Swift’s expanded with juniors from Hookin2Hockey (Hin2H) and 2 junior grades, E and D grades. Swifts Hockey community are excited at this addition and are exploding with pride! Encouraging our little Bluebirds to develop into our next generation Swifts. Swift’s introduced the Anne-Marie Callow Excellence award, awarded to junior players excelling in our great sport and ready to follow in Ammo’s footsteps toward a promising future in hockey. Líle Lenaghan received the first Ammo trophy, being Swifts first junior player representing Queensland.

 

In 2018, the season saw all teams finish in the top 4 with Reserve grade mid-season winners, minor premiers and runners up. D & E grades both made finals unfortunately both runners up.

 

In 2019, we saw the introduction of two A2 women’s teams due to the numbers of interested players with both teams playing a great season, always friendly and supportive. R2 ladies took out the premiership also being mid-season winners and minor premiers.

 

In 2020, although it was a difficult year for everyone, hockey and sport in general also suffered. Even COVID didn’t stop the Swifts Hockey Club fighting spirit and we were able to field 6 teams, Reserve grade, R2 grade, A2 women, E & D grade girls & combined C grade. We were able to capture a few milestones, we introduced our first men’s team A2 men who amazingly made the final and were runners up. We also became an Incorporated Club. With 4 teams making finals, R2 ladies going down to their competition nemesis Vets and A2 men also unfortunately a loss, but a very close game against Hancocks. We saw our first ever junior premiership our D grade girls coached by Cristle Petersen, over a mixed competitive Northern Western Strikers. Reserve grade ladies, took out the premiership in a tight and emotionally fueled penalty shootout, coached by Cyle Meloury.

 

Celebrating 15 Years! - 2021 year has seen some COVID challenges, but also some distinct successors for Swifts. We had started the year with a maximum of teams including once again 2 A2 women’s teams, A2 men’s, R2, Reserve and A grade women. With our juniors we experienced our first ever year of 3 full independent Swift’s teams, including the first Swift’s only C grade team. Out of the 8 nominated teams we had 6 in the top 4 by the end of the 2021 season. E & C grades, with A2 Men, R2, Reserve, A grade women. Reserve grade and C grade teams made the grand final, both runners up.  Food for thought is that Swifts reserve grade went down to Norths highest grade team, they were made up of predominantly A graders, our C grade team was made up of under aged girls and therefore our future in these grades looks exceptionally good.  Swifts acknowledge our Qld success with Gracie Dombroski our U 13’s shadow, Sophie Baldwin & Ashlee Pascoe U 15’s Squad, Líle Lenaghan, Hayley Petersen & Kacey Nguyen making the U 18’s Squad.   The underdog status of Swifts stays strong as we work hard to ensure successful teams with our low fees and family feel club! Here's to the 2022 season!
