Another weekend done and dusted! What a great weekend it was at the Perth carnival.
Originally heading into the weekend with the most players we’ve had for the club in quite a while, we unfortunately lost a couple of players early on due to some mechanical issues, which meant a quick Friday night team shuffle!
We definitely missed playing alongside the Lamb family and having our first subbie player in a while, but we were very lucky to have Jess Hare and Tenille O’Brian step in and play with the Murray side!
Saturday saw Murray head out and fight hard in both games, with Angie up front, Sue in the middle and Alana playing an absolute blinder out the back in Chukka 1.
Chukka 2 with Stephen up front, Jess in the middle for her first ever weekend of polocrosse, and Tenille out the back. Everyone worked just as hard as each other and the team came together like a well-oiled machine! 👏
Sunday brought a little shuffle, with Jess stepping up and showing us how it’s done up front — for her first time ever in the position! The goals were flying and the smiles were absolutely glowing! 😁
With Jess up front and Tenille out the back, the opposition were certainly given a run for their money!
Alana and Stephen showed off their well-practised passes into the area to create a dream team, while Sue was the ultimate protector in the middle for Chukka 2, proving just how important a good number 2 is!
While we had laughs galore and played our hearts out (Stephen quite literally singing his heart out 😂), Amber made her position as a Foothills 1 well known! Absolutely smashing it in the shooter position for her first weekend. Looks like the hotly contested number 1 position has some serious contenders heading into our next carnival! 👀
Rumour has it a few of us even picked up some pony points along the way! Hard-fought and definitely well deserved. 🐴👏
A huge thank you to all our supporters, helpers and everyone who got behind us over the weekend. And a very special thank you to our fantastic fill-ins, Jess and Tenille, for jumping in and becoming part of the Murray team! 🩵
Until next time!
Go Murray!
