Final day of team event

Dear readers

The Wasps team goes into battle for a gold.

In recent history, WA has only fought for gold on 2 occasions.

In  2012, when Kim Rodgers was coach, Tyz was Captain, my wife Annie was Umpire, I was the manager and Jaz was Asst coach. We could not beat NSW 1 and lost 1/7. We had to settle for silver.


In 2017, WA fought Vic 1 for gold. Yuli was coach with Annie as the Manager and President Lily as Umpire. The final score was 4/4 but we lost on games at 10/8. It was so close and again we had to settle for silver. Joanne was in that team.

Today, WA had another chance to try and beat NSW 1.

However, as can be seen below, it was a close loss at 5/3. Timothy was unable to convert after a 3 setter. He has given all for WA and his mom Surya (Manager) should be proud of him. Of course his dad will be even prouder.


Joanne again won after a tough 3 setter. She has shown so much courage for WA. I remember a year she played for WA and through pain and exhaustion, she refused to give up in fighting for WA. I knew she was one of the future stars to watch. Cindy has again stood tall for WA.

Seryna, Terrence and Wei Yuan should all be proud that they were in a silver winning team. They are still young and will carry the flag for WA in the future.

Coach Nick and Umpire Kim should be thanked by the players for leading them to this silver win. It was a tough gig to get gold and they fought hard.

Surya, make sure the kids thank you for managing the team. It is not an easy job managing. Been there, done that and know how hard it is.

Now they have to focus on the individual events. Good luck all.

The Scorpions had a tougher day trying to stay at the mid range of the league. They lost 7/1 to NSW 2.

I am sure this experience will help them in their next state team.
