Since 1999 the competition has alternated between Open and Mixed Intermediate competition and in some instances the girls have played in the Open teams and mixed it with the best of them! There have been some fierce battles with NSW leading the way with six series wins and Queensland have won in 2003 under Coach Ross Shepherd and then in 2007 with Christine Franklin as Coach.
The Muswellbrook Polocrosse Club host the NSW and Qld players and their supporters during their stay and there is an official dinner on the Thursday night followed by two games on the Friday. A social night is organised for Friday night and the last game is held on Saturday after the Show’s Grand Parade. It is a great steppingstone for young players to gain experience representing their state before moving out into the senior ranks.
Notes from Carol Bowen, Muswellbrook, NSW.
