Trent and Goondi between Chukkas
Trent Hardwicke is off this week to Victoria for an intensive 6 day Polocrosse Boot Camp with the Australian Junior Polocrosse Squad. The squad is comprised of 28 players, with the majority from NSW and Queensland. The 14 year old from Railton was selected out of over 120 nominations from across Australia and is the only Tasmanian to make the squad. The top junior players will be selected from the squad, to represent Australia in the Junior Test Series between Australia and South Africa in April 2009.
Rodney Gee Tasmanian Polocrosse President said “As you can imagine we are all incredibly proud of Trent, he was selected after his great performance for the Tasmanian junior team in the Tri-state series in Albury NSW last year and his solid A grade performance for the Kentish Club in Tasmania.
“The Kentish A grade team were victorious on the weekend at their home carnival defeating Central Coast by four goals. This was Trent’s last carnival before jumping on the plane to Boot Camp.
“Polocrosse talent is definitely in the Hardwicke family with the Kentish A grade team including Trent, his father Larry Hardwicke and older sister Danza Hardwicke.
The next Tasmanian Club carnival is on Saturday the 24th of January at Smithton, play commences at 9am with spectators welcome. Any person interested in Polocrosse should contact Richard on 0418 142 518 or Rodney Gee 0428 530 082.
