/in , , , , /by

Thanks to the Tintinara Action Club, the annual Tintinara Canoe Polo competition was held on Saturday 9 Nov. Four teams, The Darns, Huskies, Pirates and Sharkzilla enjoyed the games as they fought for the trophy and honour of cutting the winner’s cake. In the end the Huskies took out the trophy. The mascot, Toohey The Huskey was very interested in the trophy and proximity to the BBQ.

Besides the main trophy, awards were given to Andrew and Fred who tied for the ‘Highest Goal Scorer’, David for being the ‘Best Blocker’, Andrew for the most ‘Massive Misses’, Nicki for the most ‘Rolls in games’ and the ‘Super Swimmer’ award was tied between Berny, Wojtek and Scott.

The free camping available next to the lake provided players with great accommodation over the weekend.

Polo team at Tintinara

Having a weekend away, camping at Tintinara and playing polo in Lake Indawarra has become an annual event (expect for the Covid interruption). The polo field was set up on Friday with about half the players arriving in time to pitch camp and head to the local pub for dinner. On Saturday morning we floated and attached the goals to the field and then everyone was ready for play to commence at about 10am. With four teams there was enough time to have two complete round robin competitions, giving everyone 6 games during the day. There was a short break when the forecast storm, complete with large hail stones, lightning and thunder, went through but when the storm passed everyone was back out enjoying the last of the games. Games were close with several ending in draws, but overall Sharkzilla came away triumphant. After the games there was a BBQ roast spit dinner and lots of great company and good conversation.
