Stampede Cup



We had a great time in Calgary for Stampede cup on July 9. There were 4 mens teams, from Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna, and Vancouver. And 2 womens team, from Calgary and Edmonton.
All it all it was a great tournament. Both the Wombats and the Emus played their hearts out.
The second half of the Emus game is when we really came out to play. Even though we are still chasing down our first official win, at the end of our game on Saturday, we were all winners. In reflecting after the game, Cam, our coach, was at a loss to pick best on field. And I know why. Everyone put their best foot forward and encouraged the best out of everyone else on the field. The shining stars of the game were:
Best on Field: Charnelle Willis. Impressive for her first game of footy! Glad to have you as part of the club!
First runner up: Hilary Perry. Though she may play in Calgary, we know she'll always be an Emu.
Second runner up: Laura White. Strong. Determined. Fierce.
Honourable mentions: Karyn Huxley and Carmen Flores, who tore it up during the second half.
Thank you to the Calgary Kookaburras and Kangaroos for hosting such a great day (and evening).
P.S. Those purple socks are HAWT!
