LAST Wednesday afternoon the sun was shining brightly through the row of large pines that were offering some welcome shade to play in. We had a good turnout and were able to get two teams of 7 a side with a sub eagerly waiting to get on the field to give someone a well-earned rest. We had a few onlookers who encouraged our players with applause and support, enjoying the game from the sideline.
Welcome to our two newbies, husband and wife Mick and Cathy who both took to the field with smiles and zeal getting right into the game from the kick-off.
The game ebbed and flowed for the full thirty minutes and then continued another 15 minutes with an extension of play time requested and enjoyed by all players and onlookers alike.
Andrea showed great skills and determination getting a quinella by landing at least two shots as did Lorraine amid plenty of cheers and clapping. Well done everybody, and hope your sore pinky finger has settled down Cathy.
We say farewell to Hugh, Tim and their parents who wandered in last week to join us during their two-week annual holiday in Tea Gardens and we look forward to your company again next year.
Thank you, David for volunteering to do the laundry this week and Gary and Vicky for sending through the action shots.
Anyone 50+ years young welcome to drop in for a game and/or just a look-see. Twilight season 5pm Wednesdays at Memorial Park Cnr Witt and Hough Streets Tea Gardens.
Our winter season will commence early May, games will be midday Saturdays with a sausage sizzle and a pleasant afternoon of fun and social connection. Stay tuned, All welcome.
