Warrnambool

By Hugh Nguyen

Off to Warrnambool tomorrow for Australian Volleyball’s annual kick-off event (well for Vic and SA at least). It’s a nice drive along the Great Ocean Road and a great tournament in a great town. I only played there once in 2002 and regret not playing there again. I’m going with Henley Hawks, which is taking three teams. I’m assistant coaching our boys team playing div 3. They’re made up of the juniors Funky and I coached last year. I’ve been told to bring my playing gear in case, but not sure if I’m that keen to jump on. Other than that, I don’t really have any real responsibilities, which is weird. I’m camping in the caravan park with the McHughs. Good thing I have a swag. Say g’day if you see me.

    Well that’s Warrnambool for another year.
    Great to see Souths , Steve Irwin All Stars over there with the Henley Hawks flying the SA banner.
    A fun weekend and some top VB was had by all.
    Had a thought whilst there………. If SA state squads were picked prior to this weekend then the squads could travel over and have a REAL HIT OUT before the actual teams were selected. God knows this has to beat playing in another underdone SA Open ( re 2007 ) and trial games against each other ! Any thoughts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I have not worked on the logistics of this as I’m sure others will come up with the pros and cons!

    To our ” baby ” hawks you are a credit to yourselves, family and club…….CONGRATS Hope you found the experiences worthwhile and will come back.

    By the way Huy THE SWAG did not get that christening we promised oh well there is always next time.

    One other thing to comment on You know the true worth of a coach when they sub themselves off…… for……………. eh HUY.
