G'Day to all from Sydney,

The Crunch has been "crunching" through the competition so far, with 3 games played and won handily, 4 to 1, 9 to 0 and 10 to 2.
We seem to have made a lasting impression on the local competitors not only with our playing abilities, but also with our fashionable looks.

One team member told us that when they saw how fashionably attired we were that they figured any team which spends this kind of money on their uniforms, must be a sizeable opponent and his team members sort of resigned themselves to be defeated.

Oct 10, Saturday, we are getting ready for our first couple of games.

The last 3 days were spent getting ourselves organized and visiting Sydney.
We took a tour of the Sydney Harbour and walked around the Opera House and downtown.
The harbour tour was fun, the weather has been very windy and coldish since we arrived on the 7th, and the high winds forced some ferry services to shut down. Our tour boat had to change its itenerary to accomodate to the high waves being created by the winds. The waves in the harbour entrance looked like 20 feet high.

Hi folks, here is the games schedule for "The Crunch"

Saturday Oct 10
5:00pm vs Classic Gargoyles
6:30pm vs Centenary

Sunday Oct 11

We will post the games results at the end of each day.

As some of you may know, 4 EWP members are soon to leave for Sydney Australia to participate in the 2009 World Master Games.

The members going are Dale O'Brien, Darryl O'Brien, Carolyn Karasiuk, and Jean Leduc.

The club has generously offered to offer some financial support to our 4 members in their quest for personal excellence.

The World Master Games are held every 4 years, like the Olympics, however the games are participatory in nature and are for individuals competing for themselves rather than for their own Nation.
