AUG Tuesday and the Vultures AFL men’s team fought against the reigning pennant holder UWA, a professional outfit, sporting a team strengthened by the end of the recent WAFL season. VU put in a strong performance but were outclassed on this occasion. AFL women, continued to dominate their pool and look the strong favorites to retain their division 1 title.
Over at Runaway Bay (no seriously that is the name) with the Netball, Soccer and Ultimate a day of excellent results saw Netball women finishing the better to UQ by 2 in a nail-biter. There was great
team support all day at the Netball and both the women’s and mixed teams were performing well. Great results also for Ultimate winning all 3 games and Football (Soccer) women notching a win against Curtin early in the day.
Back on the Surfers beach the men’s Beach
Volleyball chalked up a win in the heavily supported twilight contest against
Adelaide and Tuesday also saw an excellent opening campaign for the Athletics
with; Leigh Lewellin, Rachel Rowe, Daniel Pagnoccolo and Daniel Aikos
all making finals in their respective events.
Martial Arts competitions commence later in
the week with Judo Thursday… VU’s international representative Ivo Dos Santos arrives
today will be a strong contender for a medal in this high-class field.
VU Taekwondo is likely to control the day
in the elite division on Friday and with much of the Games drawing to a
conclusion at that point the event is sure to be well supported by the rest of
the team. Rumor has it that Sport Manager, Scott Cashmere was putting the Taekwondo
team through their paces at last night’s, “Full moon” function to ensure the
players were up to Friday’s task
