What a long, hot and difficult weekend for bowlers and spectators.
Firstly, congrats to the Sunraysia men on their win, so close in previous years, it is great to see you guys take the trophy and the toilet seat in Wodonga.
And to the Geelong women and men, congrats on your association win, finishing second in both divisions.
To my team mates at Shepparton, well done it was such a trying weekend for us with injuries and sickness that we were able to band together as a team and support each other over the line. It was one of the best teams I have bowled in. And a fantastic effort by each and everyone of you. I hope you are proud because I am proud of you all. One of the first times we would not of had an All Star member proves how solid each of you bowled, so congratulations.
Thanks to Tania for braving the manager role, and the few guys who supported us during the weekend and especially on the Monday (you know who you are).
To all the All Stars, MVP's and Encouragement awards, congrats on your efforts over the weekend.
Thanks for Wodonga providing tough conditions and reminding us why we love Country Cup so much.
And finally to all the Hall of Fame and Legend inductees congratulations to you all on your efforts over the lifetime of Country Cup, it was great to hear some of the previous country cup bowlers be acknowledged for their participation and efforts over the years, as well as the current bowlers who continue to compete year in year out.
Looking forward to Warrnambool in 2012, bring it on.....
