Cooper Starts Training

Cooper has joined the Mitcham Tigers and his training started today. He looks the part in his training top.

A Restaurant Discovery

We met up with Ian and Wendy who were down from Queensland.  Looking for an appropriate half way house we came up with the Dumpling Kitchen in Blackburn South.  Suffice to say we will be going back there.  It was a great meal.

Claire's Birthday

Graeme and Rhondda arrived for the start of a busy few weeks with social events and camping.  It all kicked of with a celebration of Claire's birthday at Bucatinis.

Finals Evaporate for Celtics

James and his team went down fighting today.  The opposition had not been beaten all season and it soon became apparent why. They were good.

Our boys pushed hard but many of those 50% chances did not come off.  James worked hard but there were a number of skillful talls opposite and James often found himself up against Andre The Giant who had clearly kept up his practice.

It has been an exciting season with one game to go before the finals and then it all starts again.

Captain Ebony

We were excited to hear late last year that Ebony had been elected School Captain for this year.  How could the blog be complete without a photo of Ebony and her Badge of Office?

Weekend Electronics

Jack, Cooper and Lachlan had a sleepover last night.  They like the weekend pace of having a casual breakfast and then a bit of time on the tablets before the day gets underway.

Basketball - James

James and his team came to play today.  Last time they met the opposition they were down a few players and had a hard time.  Today they came out winners 48 to 24.  James was on fire!

Netball - Ebony

Ebony and her team were just back from School Camp.  Although they had a great time at Camp, they looked a little tired on court today. They still put on a good show even though the opposition was stronger on the day.

Basketball - Sophie

Sophie was on the court at 8.30 this morning taking on Whitehorse.

She threw an early goal and was instrumental in many turnovers and keeping the ball in the hands of the Vikings.

She is one of those players that keeps an absolute focus on the ball and making position.  She played a great game with her team running out winners 12 to 4.

 Great players always have great fans!

Basketball - Pat

Pat's Friday Night Team were up against an opposition that thought they had this one in the bag.  Things did not quite work out for them in what turned into a fairly aggressive game that the Vikings won by 6 points.  Players were sprawled over the court and one was carried off. Pat survived relatively unscathed with only one clash.
