Doing it for Australia!

A couple of Sundays ago Ange and I took Lea, Gabriela and Steph to ‘The Church’. Backing up after a big night at Temple Walkie was a little tough, but we managed to make it out there by 11am or so, and once again the place was absolutely packed! Sooo much fun. Anyway, when they called out for the boat races I grabbed Lea’s hand and we raced over to the door where you have to meet, grabbing 2 other Aussie guys along the way, and hey presto there we were, the drinking team representing Australia. Woohoo!!!! There were 4 teams – the Poms, Kiwis, Aussies and Sth Africans. These big bouncer dudes tooks us backstage and gave us the low down on all the rules. We had our photos taken back stage, and then it was time for the first race.
Team Australia!

It was the Kiwis were up against the Sth Africans...and they absolutely thrashed them! Then it was our turn against the Poms. And they were 4 big Army boys, all dressed in matching polo shirts. They were taunting us, telling us we were going down, and the two Aussie guys in our team just said “you girls better know how to skull a beer!” So the bouncer lead us out and we were up there in front of hundreds and hundreds of people. We were projected onto a big screen on either side of the building as well!
Ange and Gabs in the crowd!

So it was me first, then Lea, then the 2 guys to bring us home. And the 4 big English army guys along side us. The comedian running the show was talking it up, getting all the crowd involved. It’s never easy to skull a can of warm VB. But we Aussies know how to drink and we managed to get up and win! Woohoo, we beat the poms!!!
Australia 1...England 0!!

So after a little break we had NZ in the final. Lea and I got our team off to a great start, but our last guy was rubbish and NZ beat us in the end. But it was alot of fun. The whole rest of the afternoon people came up to us and shook our hands, congratulating us on a fine effort!!!
