2011 Zone Mounted Games Champs
Zone 20 Mounted games were held on Saturday 30th August, with Wirlinga fielding two full teams, as well as making up another composite team. Our senior team, Wirlinga Warriors went into the games as defending champions, and the second team, Wirlinga Whammers, had several of our up and coming champs. The competition started well with the Warriors winning the Stepping Stone race just ahead of the Black Range team. The Rope Race was a bit of a nightmare for the Warriors, as a pole was knocked over, and the team could only manage a 4th place. The Warriors bounced back to win 9 Ring, and Spillers Pole, putting them back in front, but were pipped at the post in both Tack Shop and Tyre race. With scores at the top running very close, the Whammers were putting in fantastic performances in difficult muddy conditions against many senior riders. The Warriors fought back with a great win in Hi Lo, but had a ball bounce out in the Ball and Bucket race to finish third. Once again scores were very close, with only two points separating first and second place. With only two events left to run, it could easily have gone either way. Warriors dis a great job winning Balloon race, and took the lead over the Upper Murray/Tumba combined team out to three points. Wirlinga had to finish strongly, and that they did, with a very close run second place to the UM/Tumba team in the 5 flag race. A fantastic effort by the Wirlinga Warriors to take out the Zone 20 Mounted Games championships for a third year running. The Whammers finished off very well with 7th place, and our extra riders did some great work in the combined teams. Well done to all competitors, you made us all very proud
