With many sporting seasons across the globe disrupted or simply not taking place due to the covid pandemic, there are many very frustrated sportspeople sitting at home itching to get out and play. The Dankz Superstar Challenge was aimed at being some light entertainment for those people, while at the same time promoting the Western Australian players and their clubs. Being such an isolated city the people of Perth have been lucky to be able to return to sport, albeit with some restrictions.
The Dankz Superstar Challenge saw seven top hockey players from seven clubs in the Hockey WA Premier League competition in Perth, Western Australia compete in six challenges to see who was the ultimate champion.
In this first challenge the contestants had to execute a skill fast disappearing from the modern game, an upright forehand hit. Watch to see how they went below.
Episode Two is coming out on 11th March.
