1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Three sixty with Katie Wolf on Mix one oh four

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: point nine thanks to Joyce Main Darwin Well. A group

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: of phenomenal Territorians are making history in Tasmania. At the moment,

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: our Northern Territory under eighteen girls are through to the

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: semifinals now. They finished second in their pool, which has

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: never been done before for any NT women's teams. They're

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: set to play against Queensland eight am tomorrow morning and well,

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: if they win, they're going to be playing for the

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: gold medal. Otherwise they are playing off for bronze. This

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: is phenomenal stuff. And joining me on the line right

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: now is the assistant coach, very well known Territorian Nova Paris.

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: Good morning, Nova, Good morning Katie Nova. How excited are

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: you guys about the fact that the team has made

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: the semis Look.

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: We are absolutely pumped and thrilled and it's never happened

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: before as long as I can remember, but you know,

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: not by a women's team anyway. Where the Anti women's

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: hockey team have ever made the top four and made

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: the semi final playoffs. So we absolutely pumped and thrilled

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: and we've got a great little determined side and our

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: philosophy for our team players mongrels. So we just get

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: out there and play good, hard hockey.

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: I love it. Nova, it's our Northern territory underrating girls.

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: Tell us about this group of young women.

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: So I guess as we speak at the moment, we've

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: got the underading tournament here in Tasmania, and we've got

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: the under fifteen tournament going in New South Wales, and

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: unfortunately there's a high drop off rate of the under

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: eighteen girls and so we had to form an alliance

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: team with seven eighth sorry eight Queensland imports. So we've

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: got nine territory strong, highly talented young women and we've

32
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: got these eight Queensland Country Country Queensland girls that as

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: of last week we weren't going because of the COVID

34
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: hot swaps situation. So there was highs and lose amongst

35
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: the girls themselves. But we were able to get the

36
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: team together because of the lifting of the borders, and

37
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: we got a team together and we trained once for

38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: twenty minutes. We had a scratch match against South Australia.

39
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: We went down three one and that went straight into

40
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: the tournament and we found ourselves on second what a

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: clear seven point clear in our pool above New South Wales,

42
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: South Australia and Act and so it's been absolutely phenomenal.

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: And you know, like Katie, for myself leaving the ninety

44
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: six Olympics and going straight into the sport of athletics,

45
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: never gone back into hockey until I came back to

46
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: the Northern Territory last year and played with my daughter

47
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: Destiny who she's also in the team playing for the Territory.

48
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: And so for me to be part of this team

49
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: as the assistant coach, it's absolutely fabulous, even for myself

50
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: because I've never been able to share my lived experience

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: as a former hockey room.

52
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: Oh that is so awesome. There's so much that you've

53
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: just told me there that I love. Let's go firstly

54
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: to the fact that you know, you've got seven of

55
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: these girls that have come across from country Queensland obviously

56
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: nine territory strong girls, which is amazing. But I just

57
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: love the fact that they've played together or they trained

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: for twenty minutes, had a scratch match and then they've

59
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: gelled that well together, Oh they haven't.

60
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: And I think that that's and that's what I said

61
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: to them when I first met them. I said, you

62
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: know what, the exit, we don't have expectations. I know

63
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: that all of you girls, I know, the nine Antique

64
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: girls and their bloody fantastic RiPP of players. And it

65
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: was funny because I checked out the Queensland girls and

66
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: you know, country girls no matter where you are from

67
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: this bloody continent. I've owed me to know that. You know,

68
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: they get out, they have a crack. And so I

69
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: knew that we were going to have a really strong team.

70
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm all about empowering young women and

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: I said, you know how to play hockey. We will

72
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: set the structure. If you stick to the structure, the

73
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: results would take care of itself. And there was no

74
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: expectations apart from the fact we wanted them to play

75
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: hockey and to the game before. We knew we had

76
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: to be act, which we did three nil, and we

77
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: knew that the Tasmane and girls are going to be tough.

78
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: We're playing on their turf and you know they've been

79
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: and they were in that. It was our cross over pool.

80
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 2: And even though we went down to Niel to them yesterday,

81
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: we were still clear on points from Miss South Wales

82
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: B and South Australia so New South Wales be and

83
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: South Australia drew yesterday which left us too clear points.

84
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: So we came home after our game and the girls

85
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: were screaming because they knew that that meant we were

86
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: we were in and so we've had to go to

87
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: the reset button and say, come on, girls, you know

88
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: that's the sport of hockey or any sport. You know,

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: anything is possible. And we've got four quarters of hockey

90
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning at eight thirty in the morning. And you know,

91
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: the Queensland girls are I've got an act to grind

92
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: with them Queenslanders, so they're all out to make a

93
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: point of you know, missing out on their number one

94
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: queens laetem. So we're all fired up and you know,

95
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: be cut up to our coach Pas Markov, who's the

96
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 2: Pathway's coaching has only been with Anti Hockey for the

97
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: first for two years and between the two of us

98
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: as our first eight team that we've ever coached at

99
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 2: individuals and obviously collectively. So we are absolutely crunched to

100
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: have an amazing group of talented young women who were

101
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: just really determined to get out and play well tomorrow.

102
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,280

00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: be very busy, so can you please let us know

106
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: whenever you get a moment to let us know how

107
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: the girls go. Now, before I let you go, what's

108
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: it like for you being part of this team and

109
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: also coaching this wonderful group of young women as you

110
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: assistant coach, but also with your daughter in there.

111
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, like Destiny, she went to boarding school

112
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: in New South Wales and she's actually played for New

113
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: South Wales when she was a border down there, so

114
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 2: she's got a couple of New South Wales mates. But

115
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: for me to actually see my daughter out there on

116
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: the turf, and I've actually bumped into nine Olympians over

117
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: the course of the championships, a couple of them who

118
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: were former hockey roommates and cooker burs and you know,

119
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: they all said the same thing. It's good to you know,

120
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: for me to be back in the sport. But all

121
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: of us have got kids playing at national championships, so

122
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: it's just awesome to see the genetics are paying off,

123
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: and you know, the love of hockey is also there,

124
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: so I'm super proud not only of my daughter's destiny,

125
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: but you know all these young territory girls that are

126
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: out there doing the territory proud and also setting a

127
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: precedent to the next generation of hockey players to say,

128
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 2: you know, we've done it. Keep up with the hard

129
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: yards and you can be there also one day.

130
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, one as no for this game tomorrow morning. So

131
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: if you win, you're going through to the gold medal playoff,

132
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: is that right? Or the gold medal final. But if

133
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: you don't, are you still going to be playing for bronze?

134
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: Yes, that's correct. So we play Queensland, who finished top

135
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: of the pool aid and the other match. The top

136
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: of our pool was Victoria and second and the other

137
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: pool was Western Australia. So whoever wins or loses out

138
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: of the Victorian West Australian match, obviously we win, we

139
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: go for the gold, correct Katie. And then we lose,

140
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: we play off for the bronze out of with the

141
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: loser of the other other game. So we've got two

142
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: really tough days ahead of us. But you know, the

143
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: girls are resting up and even though it's bloody eleven degrees,

144
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: I'm making the girls get in the ice bas for

145
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: their recovery and any focus on the next day.

146
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: Oh good on you guys. I tell you what, I

147
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: think the whole of the Northern Territory will be super proud,

148
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: even just listening this morning of how far the girls

149
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: have come. And I'm hoping for a gold medal. But

150
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to put any pressure on you guys,

151
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: just all the very best and the territory is cheering

152
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: you on.

153
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks Katan. I should mention that the games are

154
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: live streams as well, and I think that you have

155
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: to subscribe, but it's not expensive and I hope all

156
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: territories can get on the subscription. I think it's through

157
