Well it's happened again. We've had another team lose to Canada today. Our Womens 3x3 Basketball team got done 14-22. Couldn't buy a shot in the early stages of the game and the end margin probably flattered them.

Not sure what's with all the loses to Canada today???

    Disaster for our Rugby 7's girls with a loss in the Bronze Medal match to USA. They just didn't play well today compared to the previous two days. Gold medallists in Rio, to failing to win a medal at the next two games.

    Gold for Kaylee McKeown as she defends her 100m Backstroke title. She motored home in the last 25 meters!

    Bad evening for our teams overnight with the Kookaburras coming back to earth with a thud, beaten 2-6 by Belgium. Sharks kicked the day off for us with a stunning win, but all our teams lost for the day after that.

    Thank goodness Kaylee McKeown ended the day off brilliantly for us!

    That was a tense victory! I thought they were going to drop it after Netherlands levelled with 40 seconds to go. Penalty shoot out is always a tough way to lose!

    Australia get a 2nd win in the day in the 3x3 Basketball, knocking off USA 17-15! Takes them to 3-1 so far with 3 more games to come.

    Here's hoping the Opals can draw inspiration re coming back from a slow start to the tournament.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
