TWO UP - TWO DOWN


That was the tale of the tape after round 1 of the 2014 Metro Season at Mount Annan Botanic Gardens. Captain Metro revealed his hand using a complex colour coded scoring system as the back bone of his team selections. Reminded one of the complex US Senate Ballot in the US a year or two back.

The Harriers, Division 1,  was certainly strengthened by the availability of Paul McClellan, who top scored for the team and was 8th fastest overall. The Shane Doyle, returning to Uringa after many years, also did well with 14th overall only seconds behind Ian Jones in 13th. The Harriers won their match over the “Uni Kids” 29-25.

The Kites, Division 3, were not quite so lucky losing to Illawarra Kareelah 34-21. Matt Peters was the Kites highest scorer followed by Linda, Paul and Julia. Last minute inclusion, Ron didn’t trouble the scorer. The Division 4 Team of the Falcons were smiling  winning their clash with Illawarra Kareelah 32-23 up.  Jim Mackay was best performed of the team finishing 11th overall and Dick scrubbed up pretty well in 13th.  A special thank you to Connie Mcnamee who filled in for us.

The Kestrels were certainly  were consistent performers across the board. Gayle Shepherd led the team home as the top scorer, 9th Overall  and the fledgling Finn  was in fine form for 12th place overall. They unfortunately went down to Shoo on their home turf.

The next Metro event is on April 13th at Manly Dam. Captain Metro has a full dance card for this event
