Bloo’s Netball Challenge

Held at Camden Beach sports Centre each year, this is probably the one time a year anyone in our crew plays netball. Luckily for us Brendan’s Sister Nat and her boyfriend Mark came to help us out. Nat also came last year and once again she showed everyone what to do and where and how and organised us quite nicely into a team. We had just enough people for a team with Alex, Michael, Brendan, Terri, Nat, Mark and Myself. We kicked ass in the first game against one of the Pt Noarlunga teams winning around 13:3. Our next two games against Lones and TARC didn’t go so well as they both had people who played netball and we lost both games. Our last game was against the other Pt Noarlunga Team which we won although Michael fell and hit his knee and we had to get a ring in from Lones. We did a lot better than last year and it was also a lot more enjoyable (partly cos we didn’t lose every time we played). it was also good to see that there was no trip to the hospital and michael was our only injury, although i skinned my knees falling onto the ball. In the end we came about 5th so didn’t quite make it into the semi finals but neither did we have to play off for the wooden spoon. Everyone did a fantastic job and hopefully we do even better next year, a big thankyou to our two ring ins Nat and Mark!!

Anzac Day

As always, Rovers were asked to help with the ANZAC Day Dawn Service and March in Adelaide. From 5:30 in the morning Rovers hand out the service programs to everyone coming in which appeared to be lots more than previous years. Barg, Michael, Alex, Brendan and Myself came for this and afterwards the Rovers went to the pancake kitchen for breakfast. Brendan, Daniel and I went to go check my rats first but I realised that id forgotten my keys so we went to Maccas for some much needed food (which wasn’t so pricey) before meeting back up with everyone at the pancake kitchen. Only Barg, Brendan and I stayed for the march were we were flag point at the Torrens parade ground. This meant 2 people at a time held flags by the side of the march in front of the dignitaries, the first where they salute and the second where they drop salute. After the march we went down to the Cross of Sacrifice for the service there and met up with Terri before going to the REX for lunch which was packed so we went to Café de Villis.

Jekyll & Hyde

Sunday the 24th Brendan, Marc, Michael, Clare, Daniel and Myself went to the Norton Summit Pub for Lunch, which I think everyone enjoyed (except for Brendan) -the tart was particularly nice too. We then went to the Stirling Community Theatre, with very little time to spare, to see Jekyll and Hyde the musical. It was a pretty good show which looked at (my interpretation anyway) morals and ethics and the good and evil each person is capable of, all in all a very dark and tragic show, but good.

Well... We Won!!

Now all we have to do is organise it next year.....

Youth Team Challenge

Once again a few Rovers from Anstey volunteered their week end to going around Challenge hill multiple times scoring kids on team work. Barg, Daniel and I went up on Friday night and Brendan ferreted us out up the hill on Saturday and Michael came for tea. The event wasnt as big as it has been in the past so it wasnt as much work but it was still tiring. Unfortunately, I got the record for the quickest injury when a girl from my first team sprained her ankle on the first activity. Dinner was at the crafers pub followed by Lego Starwars for the rest of the night. Sunday was a little busier than Saturday butthere were a few extra volonteers so it all worked out good.

The Esky drawn on the teamwork sign is still up there from last year, all ready for the Anstey Esky Challenge...

Drive In

On a spare of the moment impulse (or a craving for drive in hotdogs) a few of us went to the Drive in at Gepps Cross to see Robots and The Ring 2. Good movies but never ever go to the drive in uring a dust storm, it really kills it and its a nightmare walking to get food. But the hotdogs were definately worth it!!
