Apologies for the unashamed proud dad moment. CovClaret Junior just got called up to represent Australia at the Junior Olympic games later this year - he's the hockey goalkeeper and a proud claret. I managed to get him to stand still long enough to get a pic last night at training.

That's awesome! Congrats to your lad!

Our scouting sucks. Another one slips through the nets

Massive moment I must say .

Congratulations, lets hope he's making an appearance on the Turf in the future, with a medal around his neck.

I like the idea of that

Covclaret. That's brilliant. Well done to the young man, I can understand why you and the family would be very proud of him. Tell him to work hard and the rewards will come. I agree a medal being shown at the Turf would be awesome.

That's great, well done.

Brilliant news Covclaret

Where are the junior Olympics? And Well done from Melbourne Clarets.

There’s a regional qualifier in Papua New Guinea next month, which they should win then it’s Buenos Aires in October.

Moments like this are magical. Well done to both dad and son.

Congratulations, you must be so proud. (just check your sellotape and sandpaper collection though )
