Well what an absolute success was netball gala day! 4 Teams competed for the trophy created by local artists Christopher Hanrahan and Marley "Napoleon" Dawson. The shots of the games were so beautiful that there is a 2006 calendar being created as we speak (it will be out well before xmas and will make a great stocking filler). A big thankyou to everyone involved especially to the patient umpires Jaki, India, Kathy and Yuri.

The overall prize for most inspiring player went to "The Anger" (AKA Mo) Stay tuned for a sample chant from the Anger himself.
There will be more images and words to come, today everyone is too stiff to even type.
Attached for your perusal are some images of the Mary Pipes celebrating in all their glory, one of sick bay, one of Hanrahan using his bum to distract his fellow opponents and also a couple showing the pure exhilaration of exhaustion.
