Good Neighbour 2003

The more I play the sport, the more I realise that I really like volleyball. It's one of the few games that I like even just watching as a spectator sport. I've been playing now since Year 10, but with a few years gap from 1st year uni to 3rd year uni. Now that I regularly play, with a decent team, it's all good fun! Our team recently went to the Good Neighbour tournament down in Canberra, which is a national tournament held once a year. It's the biggest volleyball tournament in Australia, with massive numbers of teams. We entered the Division 3, which was a good choice for us. The competition was quality, I'd rate a little bit better than our team, so it was quite a challenge.
The top ten events:

  1. Me realising I had forgotten my wallet as we stop at Goulburn.
  2. $2 entry fees for the nightclub we checked out on Friday.
  3. Above mentioned nightclub not checking IDs for entry!
  4. The 2 min noodles and eggs for breakfast (great way to start a sporting day!)
  5. Getting a forfeit on the very first match we had to play, because the stoopid draw was changed after I had printed out a copy :(
  6. Losing ALL our games on the first day, and then winning ALL our games on the second day!
  7. In one match, spiking good enough as for the other team to put all three front row blockers on me....RESPECT :)
  8. There were big white guys (ie 6 foot 2 and above) in every Div 3 team! Sadly, in our team, we just had a guy that was white hehe
  9. Watching the AIS team play. Damn, some great players out there. All good inspiration
  10. The comraderie in the team. We'll win our Monday Night league one day boyz!
