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

 Gold Medal Game


 





Semi Final vs England


 Round 3 vs Trinidad and Tobago


Round 2 vs Canada



Round 1 vs Scotland



Wanneroo vs Kala

 



 







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!

2023-08-02 I'm off to Commonwealth Games! Dim Sum, First Intercept

 








Rox: Celebration! We went to Dim Sum! It was soooooo nice!

I am on my way to the Youth Commonwealth Games! It is so exciting! I had a bit of a hiccup on the way by breaking my phone, but Dad managed to get me one in Sydney! Thank you!

Paish: Good luck Rocky Roo! I'm off to practice at DAB for 10 weeks! Fun...

C: See you soon Rox!

S: I'll be very lonely...dim sum was amazing!

2023-07-16 Hamersley Comets Double Champions! 100-0!









 



Rox: What an amazing week - beating Roar with the last shot of the game, and then beating Demons convincingly to win the Championship! What a season! It has been incredible. George even came to watch.

I went on in the Open's final too which we won, so I got two medals! It was such a fun night!

Paish: We beat Southern Lions 100-0! The best part of the game was that I actually kicked conversions from the sidelines for the first time ever! I was pretty happy.

Roxy played so well, and the whole Comets team was so confident winning the final! It was very impressive.

C: Amazing Rox! What a season! No one would gave guessed we would win the final at the start of the season!

I can't believe you went on in the Open's final too which we won against Roar!

Great win Paish! Your kicking was amazing!

S: What a double win Rox - so cool! Very impressive kicking Paish!
