University Games Success!


So it was freezing cold (yes even frost on the ground) in Toowoomba but none of that could dampen our spirits!! WE WON BRONZE!! I kid you not. It is awesome and we feel like we have done something great for Samoa even if it is just to win a bronze medal at the UniGames Netball competition!! It was an awesome week. Everyone was fairly well behaved (ah hem!! nough said) we fought hard, we played hard, we kept our cool when it was necessary and we did not give up for one minute even though we had to beat "Turbo" who was turbo sized from the University of Southern Queensland 2 team in the play offs for the bronze. Everyone is so stoked. Made all the organising and worrying over funding very worth while. Lets hope this can bring great things to Samoa for University sports. We certainly got noticed internationally by a FISU - International University Sports Fedreation member and AUS - Australian University Sports person both of whom came to support our games once they saw how well we were doing. Here are the results for the mixed netball:-


Gold - University of Southern Queensland

Silver - Griffith University Gold Coast

Bronze - Samoan Universities

Yeeee Ha still riding that wave!!
