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:
- Me realising I had forgotten my wallet as we stop at Goulburn.
- $2 entry fees for the nightclub we checked out on Friday.
- Above mentioned nightclub not checking IDs for entry!
- The 2 min noodles and eggs for breakfast (great way to start a sporting day!)
- 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 :(
- Losing ALL our games on the first day, and then winning ALL our games on the second day!
- In one match, spiking good enough as for the other team to put all three front row blockers on me....RESPECT :)
- 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
- Watching the AIS team play. Damn, some great players out there. All good inspiration
- The comraderie in the team. We'll win our Monday Night league one day boyz!
