24.01.2022 The inevitable decision has been made, the 2020 Polocrosse Nationals will never happen! The writing has been on the wall for a couple of weeks now and after pushing back the date twice the realisation of how difficult it is to plan sporting events in this current time has finally set in with us all. The official announcement has just been jointly circulated by Polocrosse Australia and Polocrosse Victoria. I was appointed as head of commentating for the 2020 Nationals, it was... a position that I was honored to have been given and a responsibility that I was looking forward to performing. It was that appointment that gave birth to this page! This page was designed to showcase the great history of our Nationals first and foremost, also to re-live the great times associated with them and the people we meet along the way. My thoughts tonight go out to all the top age Juniors, Under 21's and sub juniors that have been denied their opportunity to shine on the big stage in those age group competitions. There were other players that were selected to represent their state for the very first time and some selected for the first time in many years and for other players it was to be the last dance! It's possible that some of them have missed out on their only ever chance at this level! Ballarat 2022 is now the next Nationals and hopefully following will be Chinchilla 2024. Let's hope that Covid-19 is a very distant memory and 'why isn't the 2020 Nationals on the trophy' just a good trivia question. See more
24.01.2022 In a time long before the Polocrosse World Cup we had a 3 test series in 1988 to celebrate Australia's Bicentennial between 3 different Australian Mens teams and the Rest of the World team. The tests were staged at Old Ballarat grounds in Victoria, Bowral in NSW and this one at Chinchilla in QLD. This is the opening ceremony led by PAA President Max Walters, tune in tomorrow at 3pm for the 3rd and final test Australia v The Rest of the World.
21.01.2022 1988 Australian Bicentennial Polocrosse World Series - Chinchilla QLD The 3rd Test in the series Australia v Rest of the World sees some of the greatest names to ever play for Queensland and the Northern Territory pulling on the green & gold against the Rest of the World team featuring players from New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Zimbabwe. Its the last leg of the tour, can the Aussies sweep the series or will the Rest of the World breakthrough for a win?
05.01.2022 The Junior Bronze Final at Albury 2004 represented the 3rd tier of mixed Junior competition. Once again it's interesting to see the names involved and where their careers kicked-off.
03.01.2022 Sorry for the long break between posts folks! Those that know me well will find it hard to believe that I have been too busy to do something involving Polocrosse but it's true! Things are reasonably normal here on the far north coast of NSW and work (real estate) has picked up. Video being uploaded at the moment and will back that up with a couple more asap, this post has some photo's from my first appearance in a Victorian Men's team, this time at the 1994 Walkaway National...Continue reading
