Twin
Pines Polocrosse Tournament
Report by Jodi Tiver
30 teams arrived to play on the river
sand fields in Northam for the Twin Pines annual tournament.
It was great to see that one team from Walkaway made the
effort to travel south seeing that the majority of clubs
from the Central Zone had been travelling north all year
to play at the mid-west tournaments.
With the 1st State Selection tournament
to be held the following weekend at Walkaway most people
chose to ride 2nd horses and had slightly undermanned teams
but the competition was certainly still pretty full on!
There was some very physical and fast games played all weekend!
Although rain did threaten
most of the weekend with only a sprinkling here and there,
it seemed it would hold off right up until the A Grade final!
But play still went on of course and with the hot favourites
at the beginning of the weekend, Perth swapping on to their
2nd horses with the approval of the opposition South Midlands,
that was their undoing and the red and blue went on to win
by 11 goals - a result which could have changed the leader
board for the Champion A Grade Club for the season.
Also, on behalf of all the members of
the Foothills Polocrosse Club and PAWA, we pass on our most
sincere condolences to Holly Ludeman for the loss of her
lovely old mare Budgie to a heart attack on Saturday afternoon.
