GALA DAY

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.

Scores:

Match one we saw Team Australia take down Nancy with a score of 9-1. The best player was Kathy Gray and the Most improved was Brian Fuata.

Match two The Mary Pipes took on the Wild SLACs with a score of 5-2. The Best player in this game was Michael Tate and the most improved player Liz Pulie.

Match Three Team Australia let the Mary Pipes win with a score of 11-14 ;). The Best player was Paulo Macchia and the most improved was Jonathon Bailey.

And Match 4 we had Nancy play the Wild SLACS with friendly score of 1-1 where the best player was Tim Hilton and the most improved Sara Shera.

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.
