What a Weekend!!!!!

Humpty Doo Club had five sides, an A Grade, two B Grades, one C Grade and a team of Subbies.

We won the subbies, C Grade, B Grade and Runners Up in the A Grade.

The Humpty Doo Hilton (tent) was up and running with the Hilton packed with players and spectators all cheering on our sides! Great fun was had by all our members and it was good to see old faces back at polocrosse again.

We also would like to thank the interstate players that come up and helped us out. They were Justin Hafey, Andrew Philips and Shane Gerke all from QLD. We had a successful coaching day on Friday with many of the polocrosse fraternity turning up for the coaching.

Sliding down a waterfall
Landing in a cactus
We think your team needs more practice
Gooooooo Humpty Doo!!!

Boom Boom Boom let me hear you say Whoa
Boom Boom Boom let me hear you say Whoa
Riding and riding fast
Scoring goals and kicking arse
Boom Boom Boom let me hear you say Whoa
Boom Boom Boom let me hear you say Whoa

Open the doors, roll out the matt
We’re in the team and we’re proud of that.
We’re rough, we’re tough and we are hard to bluff.
Come on Humpty Doo do your stuff!!

AIS Report 2004

In April 2004 I was nominated to attend the coaching clinic hosted by the Australian Institute of Sport.

I was flown down to Canberra and was among many great polocrosse coaches and players. This gave me professional advice and very useful hints on how to ride through a game. I also attended lectures given by experienced and professional people in this field.

I had a fantastic time and I believe I gained sound knowledge of horsemanship skills and a very positive attitude towards the game.

I was happy to be part of the grand plan for young people and to be highly recommended.
