2023-09-03 Rugby WA Grand Final Divas vs Kala, Player of the Year and Top Points Scorer!



 

Paish: What a final, and what controversy! We played so well the whole game, and managed to hold them to 3 points at half time, and then we had the wind. The game itself was so exciting, and there were hardly any quiet periods, and so much running rugby. The end result did not reflect the game, and I was devastated at the decision the referee made at the end - you have to watch it to believe it. I had so many coaches come up to me and say it was a bad decision, but I'm still gutted. Next year, it will be different.

The season has been amazing for me, and to take out two awards including the top award was such a proud moment that confirmed all my hard work. The video they did about me was so sweet!

Rox: You were so good Paish! The ref should have done better! You guys deserved the win easily.

S: Amazing game, and such a tragic decision. Paish was the best player on the pitch, but because Wanneroo lost she didn't get man of the match. The referee contradicted himself as well in the first 5 minutes of the game! Ah well, bad decision, out of our control. You played amazing Paish, and your decisions the whole game were spot on. You have leveled up this year big time, and next year will be amazing.

2 x 50-22s in two games - wow!

C: You played so well Paish! Amazing again!


2023-08-26 Semi Final vs Cott, Hamersley 1 vs Hamersley 2, Riverside Walk + Yanchep with the Bau!


 





 


Paish: The game against Cott was so much fun! The whole team seemed to click, and we played such great rugby! We smashed them by 5 tries to two, and the two tries we let in were a bit soft. So glad we beat them by a bit margin, we really wanted it. Final next week against Kala - can't wait, they are very beatable!

Rox: Back from Trinbago - so tired!

I did not qualify to play as I missed games due to my time away, so I'm now a bench warmer. I'm enjoying my rest time though and can't wait for the Maori tournament!

We just lost to Hamersley 1 though - we had no Honey, so struggled in the mid-court.

S: One of the best games I've see you play - you managed the game perfectly at 10, and made so many breaks! What a performance!

C: Well done Paish, what a game! We would have beaten Hamersley 1 if we had our full team - we just threw too much away! We only lost by 5 in the end. What a shame.

We had such a nice riverside walk at Kings Meadow Reserve - we let Bau off her lead, and I was a bit nervous, but she was great and had so much fun she got mud shoes, and washed them off in the river. Funny!

Last week we did a long walk along Yanchep, and watched some surfers - it was so hot and sunny!

Bau: I loved it! I love being off my lead!

2023-08-11 OMG! We just won the Commonwealth Games! Wanneroo vs Kala, Stevechuan with Paish. My first torpedo!

Rox: What an amazing tour! I actually don't remember much about the games, and more about everything else! But to win a gold medal for Australia is crazy! It was so much fun!

Crazy time getting there and back though! We literally travelled further than any other team!

Paish: Me and Dad went out for Szechuan - I wasn't sure I would like it, but we took a risk on the braised pork dish, and it was incredible! We had so much fun!

We lost to Kala, but that was expected as we were missing a lot of players - Jenna was in the centre. I also had my first game at 10, and sort of getting the hang of things. We did catch up in the second half though and only lost by 9 in the end which was incredible, and I made a lot of good breaks. I did my first torpedo to touch! Wahoo!

S: Well done Paish on your first full game at 10 - you seem to be getting there! You made some amazing breaks, and were such a handful!

I went for a walk with the Bau to Yanchep after all my chores - it was beautiful!

C: My crazy trip was crazy! Just 3 hours before I was about to set off, and I checked my email, and they cancelled my Sydney flight! What the! I was frantic! I spoke to a useless person, then finally someone who could get me on a flight that would not mess me up.

It was so much fun, but dangerous! I had to watch myself all the time, and the crime rates were really high. Everything was so expensive, but it was worth it to see the girls win gold!

Well done Roxy Roo! So proud of you!
