Story Collection # 01Wollondilly White Waratahs




There are some stories gathered on the Pumphouse weblog BUT in light of some recent work I've been developing I am going to start a deliberate collection of some stories!!

Honour of being the first of those goes to the Wollondilly White Waratahs who have been adopted this rugby season by the Daily Telegraph newspaper when it became apparent that this women's team were being soundly belted each week in the Illawarra competition BUT kept coming back for more and hoped for the day when things might be better!!

Even the NSW Waratahs sent Al Kanaar and friends along to training to give the coach a hand and the girls a few drills and tips!!

The girls are typical of rugby folklore... where its more about participating than the scoreline and you play on in the hope and knowledge that things will get better!!

I believe scores of over 100 - nil have been recorded... THEN it happened... last Saturday the White Waratahs scored a 3 point penalty goal and justifiably went berserk!!

The girls have vowed to come back next season and keep on working hard!! Its what rugby is all about!! Go well!!
