It was all things bright and colourful recently at Blue Lake Sports Park, as the Lower South East Hockey Association farewelled a legend of their sport in style.
Annie Anderson was a much-loved member of the LSEHA for many years, as a player, coach, and then servicing the region in her trusty delivery van, travelling far and wide in regional SA and Victoria.
She was tragically killed in a car accident before the 2023 season commenced, and her absence has been felt by all who loved her across the hockey community.
The event was a celebration of all things Annie, with an exhibition match arranged to give Annie’s friends and family the chance to join together to remember the bright and bubbly personality that won hearts wherever she went.
Annie’s parents were on hand to witness the celebration and were touched by the outpouring of love for their daughter.
As a testament to her enduring legacy, the LSEHA unveiled their permanent memorial to Annie.
