Australian National Championships, Ballarat

Congratulations to Bruce Greenslade and Belinda Tarlinton, both of whom had very successful campaigns at Ballarat.

Bruce’s team were runner’s up in the Mixed Masters competition, going down to QLD 20 to 17. Bruce and “Grace” were awarded Best # 3 in the Mixed Masters.

Belinda’s team won their Senior Mixed final against QLD in extra time, 23 to 22. Belinda and “Surprise Package” were awarded Champion Horse of the Senior Mixed.

There was some fantastic polocrosse played over the week, with some thrills and spills… none bigger than our Club Secretary Ann Anderson unwittingly playing “show jump” with a runaway horse, and coming off second best, being knocked out cold for a small while. Thankfully Ann only spent 4 hours in hospital, no doubt after they got sick of listening to “I’m fine, I have arnica in the truck, I am missing games!”

NSW should be congratulated with being in all 10 finals and winning 6 of them

New Zealand trip

Congratulations to Sam Shields on her NSW representation on a tour of New Zealand. Unfortunately, Sam’s team didn’t have any wins, but the memories and experience more than made up for it.
