The Gold Coast Polocrosse Carnival – played at Killarney last weekend due to the Gold Coast losing their home grounds to the Commonwealth Games – provided a weekend of serious polocrosse action as club, state and national teams battled for a win in the lead-up to one of the biggest events of the year at Morgan Park this weekend.
Both Men’s and Women’s Australian teams had a final hit out against Queensland as they prepare to battle for national pride against South Africa at Warwick. The prestigious Gold Racquet competition was won by Tansey in a hard fought final against traditional rival Warwick.
