First Day of Competition at the WGC, Sao Paulo

A solid day for Australia on day one of the World Championship in Sao Paulo. Redcliffe and Kew recorded a win and a loss each.

Kew were in control against a Brazilian team in their first game and continued to win by 9 points. In their second game their Argentinian opposition cleared the court with a late gate and touch and levelled the scores. Although scores were tied, the Argentinians had put their final ball on the goal pole and won on the countback.

Despite a magnificent slide from the first corner by Paul, Redcliffe’s early game had seen them go down by only 1 point to a Brazilian team. Later in the day they came back to win a game by 7 points over a Paraguayan team. Check Redcliffe player Nikki ‘s facebook post for some pics and commentary.

The day ended with Kew and a diverse crowd watching Canberra go down in a close one. After initial dominance by the South American team, Canberra took the advantage when balls were put out and began to put on some points. In the final few minutes Argentina regained the upper hand and went on to win the game. Canberra have posted pics here

Canberra will be hoping for a win in their last round tomorrow. Redcliffe and Kew will be hoping for another win and for results to go their way to see if an Australian team can make it into the finals for the first time
