Local club celebrated its iconic Norweld Cup
LOCATED on Redbank Road, Gordonvale, the Pyramid Polocrosse Club held the fourth edition of the Norweld Cup last weekend.
The competition lured out players from all across QLD to travel and participate in the Cup. The Norweld Cup had players from as far as Warwick, Goondiwindi, Nebo/St Lawrence, Nebo, Sale and Coffs Harbour.
Players competed in mixed three-on-three events, and it was open to all ages ranging from five to 70.
Local sponsors donated prize money for the winners in each division (A, B, C, D and Juniors). Roma were the winners of the Norweld Cup, with Nebo/ St Lawrence taking the A Grade Runners Up position.
This year, the Pyramid Polocrosse Club is celebrating its 44th anniversary, and they want to invite more players to try out for a family-friendly sport.
The club holds an annual Come & Try Day at the start of the year, and during the Polocrosse season, they have two carnivals, as well as training and practice days.
Unlike Polo, Polocrosse only requires one horse and is a combination of Polo and Lacrosse played using a racquet to pick up the ball; the field is marked like a netball court.
Polocrosse is a team sport and requires six players to a team and is open to all ages; anyone can play, from children to parents.
