Feb 8 - I have just found your page at www.polocrosse.net/aus/vic/vic_news.html about the 1999 polocrosse competitions. My great grandmother was a CORIDASS born in Tasmania. Only one such family emigrated to Australia (to Tasmania) in 1855. This German surname is very rare and is now normally spelt in Australia as CORIDAS (eg around Maffra). I would really appreciate your outlining to me the history (eg are they memorials or were they donated by the named persons and did these people play polocrosse etc) behind the three Coridas cups as listed below:
Best No 1 – Anthony "Ant" Coridas Trophy – Willie Radford (Rosedale)
Best No 2 – Steven Coridas Trophy – Cameron Templeton (Trafalgar)
Best No 3 – Brian Coridas Trophy – Greg Davidge (Lake George)
Any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
