2023-10-03 My Birthday! Perth Gold Tour, Roxy Netball Aus Video











S: Yay, my birthday! I suspect we are going away for it too! We shot Roxy's Australia video at Gold, which ended up being pretty good, but they only took a small snippet of it. It ended up here:

Rox: The video wasn't as hard as I thought, but took a while. The best bit was the noodle lunch after!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Paish: We had our jersey presentation for Perth Gold and I think we have a pretty good team. Shame Nicole wasn't here, and perhaps I should not have been here, but I think it is going to be fun!

Happy Birthday Dad!

C: Can't wait to see you play over east Paish!

Happy Birthday Doodis!

2023-09-24 Perth Maori Netball Tournament, Dumplings with Paish and Jaxson

 







Rox: How fun was he tournament this year! I got to play with Myra, Selina and Numi in the Open Women's and it was brilliant! We were unbeaten going into the final, and we played some tough players, but the attack combination was so much fun.

I was pretty tired going into the final, but we managed to pull it off. Selina has been playing the tournament since it started and never won, so she was soo happy. The video is on Dad's channel:




Paish: Dumpings were so nice but it was a bit chilli sitting outside!

C: The Maoaoaoaori tournament was so much fun, something we have been looking forward to all year! We didn't have a Dagwood dog, but we did have some stuff from the bakery!

We went out for dumplings with Paish and Jaxson in Karrinyup, which was nice. Jaxson's favourite!

S: Amazing tournament this year! Well done ladies, so much fun!

2023-09-09 Spence's Centurion Party, Outdoor Ed Down South

 



Rox: We spent the week down south with our outdoor ed class all week - it was lots of fun, and wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. The hardest part was probably packing up my backpack!

Paish: Dad and I went to Spence's 50th - Justine and Mark with both turning 50, so it was a dress up centurion party. It was actually pretty fun even though it was raining, and I chatted to loads of people. I drove home and got breathalised! 

S: It was fun party! Some young kids thought it was better to not dress up - they looked like fools, and admitted they should have dressed up!

C: It's quiet without Rox!

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!

 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!
