Milang Goolwa Race

Not much racing very low winds. Becalmed at the rounding buoy, still a couple of hours to go before finish may not make cutoff of eight hour mark. About 180 boats started so a spectacle.

Update: Wind picked up after the buoy, then stronger near rat island and we came in to Goolwa at 4.50. Final handicap result had us in 11th place which Rob was very happy with the result in the field of over 40 boats, giving him some bragging rights among a number of boats.

Boys and their Dragon

What 7 year old boy wouldn't want to take his dragon to bed.

Swimming

Clancy out and about

Clancy has a new bike, learning to ride very quickly 

and has now been out for three 1.5 km rides. Thankfully Opa fixed his bike after the first ride and I didn't have to run behind him any more. Clancy is also doing a week of intensive swim training at the Gisborne pool.

The Real RWC 2011

Two of the fiercest competitors met today for what was being hailed as the REAL RWC competition. A long standing history between two teams was going to ensure that this was truly a game to be remembered.

Pre Match Team Photo

Australia under 8’s gathered the ball from the start, outmaneuvered the All Blacks Over 70’s and scored their first try within minutes of the start but missed the conversion.

From there both teams fought gallantly to hold field position. Scores remained unchanged coming into the second half when it looked like the All Blacks had a free run at the line when out of nowhere Clancy Cvetko, captain of the Wallabies Under 8’s pulling of a spectacular tackle, stealing the ball and running the length of the field for their second try.
 

  With a converted try, the game finished 12-0 in favor of the Wallaby Under 8’s.
