Brisbane invitational

Well we all gathered in sunny Brisbane on the weekend to play in the Brisbane invitational. This event was hosted by the Brisbane underwater hockey club and officiated by Rory and Like.
The teams present were:
Gold Coast A
Gold Coast B
Brisbane A
Brisbane B
NSW men
NSW women
TAS/VIC combined team
wizards

The competition consisted of 3 round robin games on Saturday and 5 round robin games on Sunday followed by 2 finals. The top four teams were all very close and there was some close games with teams further down the order.

The final placings were:
Wizards 1st
Gold Coast B 2nd
There was no play off game for 3rd and 4th so Tas/Vic and Brisbane A can share the next position. There was some serious drinking done on the Saturday night outing to the Storey Bridge Hotel and some fine food was enjoyed by all.

A successful referees course was run on the Saturday morning with 21 candidates. Special thanks to Rory and Luke for their efforts in organising it all and the rumor is that this is the first time the Gold Coast team has lost the shield.

Ummm.... and Canberra! We came equal fifth along with the NSW men.

Sorry Nicky I was to tired to count properly, and Canberra was there and they played some great games, as always.

Cheers

He's lying Nicky. The powers that be have been trying to excise ACT and send it off to live with Tasmania for years now. This is just one more example... tsk tsk tsk...

Our pleasure people glad to see everyone enjoyed themselves and considering it was our first attempt at running a comp very happy with the way it went. Definitely need to consider making it only a 1 dayer in future, to many jager bombs before a full day of hockey didnt go down so well. Thanks to all the teams for attending and congrats again to the wizards for taking out the comp. Looking forward to making the trip down to the vic comp in october.
