I'm not that cool. 56 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, hey said this morning to a final 57 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 1: catch up of the year. So a chance to look 58 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: back on what has been one heck of a twelve 59 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: months for local sport, kicking goals left, right and center. 60 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: What's top of mine for you? 61 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: It has been a huge year and there's just honestly 62 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: so many things and I will no doubt miss something 63 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: where someone's thinking, why didn't you mention that? But for me, 64 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: top of the mind is our rugby A hammer is 65 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: winning the Meats Cup. Pretty hard to to not mention that. 66 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: I know we covered it quite a bit, but it's 67 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: a bit of a historic one really. 68 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: Just a neat team of role models, you know, the 69 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: win that we that we deserved, that home crowd. 70 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 2: Unbeaten home crowd, like you say, having it here, and 71 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 2: I think as well, a big, big fit thing around 72 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: that was the way Mid Canby Rugby involved the community. 73 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: It was so much more than just the rugby game. 74 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: It was really about mid Cannabury and doing it for 75 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: the region and doing it for the community. So that's 76 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: a big one. That's a big, big positive for me. 77 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: Another cool thing that happened this year was a netball 78 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: Mount Summer's winning Preme one for the first time, I think, 79 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: a bit different, kick Green out of their winning streak, 80 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: which you know, I'm part of the Green team many 81 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: years throw and through. But it was pretty cool to 82 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: see an underdog story. Yeah, who doesn't love an underdog store? 83 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. How about how we held the National 84 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: Indoor Bowls Champs here? 85 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there was a pretty EA center. It was 86 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: at the ridiculous number of people through. 87 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: Over six hundred players were part of that's all jammed 88 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: into EA and obviously we had our local champs Matt Bessett, 89 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: Michael Lawson and Simon Thomas all did really well. EA 90 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: also packed in lots of kids for the under fourteen 91 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: Southern Regional Basketball Champs earlier in this year, which was 92 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 2: a huge number of kids under fourteen basketballers. Yeah, for 93 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 2: that Southern Regional comp.
