 Aussie Green Results 
Day 1:
 Peter Yabsley faces off vs the Vancouver Desparados. Australia 2 vs Newfoundland Bullets (CAN) 6 Goal Scorers: Saxon Hooper, Sam Boer Aussie Game MVP: Kerry Baxter Story: Our second game for the day was against the host team Newfie Bullets.. We went in 2-2 at halftime but some bad passing and defensive errors saw us drop the game 6-2. Really one that got away !!  Tracy Ivin gets aquainted with the locals vs Newfie Bullets while Dane Hansen watches on. Opening Ceremony The opening ceremony was fantastic. The locals turned up to pack out the very large Pepsi Centre (the main arena). We came out in an Olympic style athelete parade to the song Land Down Under by Men at Work and got a massive ovation. Was very special and one of very many highlights of the trip for me.  The Australian Squad at the Opening Ceremony.  A Section of the Crowd at the Opening Ceremony. Day 2: Australia 3 vs Castlenut Knights (USA) 0 Goal Scorers: Shane Webster 1, Saxon Hooper 1, Peter Yabsley 1 Aussie Game MVP: Shane Webster Story: The next day saw us scrape past the CastleNut Knights by 3-0, not really our best game, but a win is a win. Australia 0 vs Cabano (CAN) 4 Aussie Game MVP: Kerry Baxter Story: The second game for the day was vs the current world champions Cabano from Quebec, Canada.. so far they had defeated all three teams they had played by 8-12 goals and hadnt had a goal scored against them. We revved up and vowed to make sure we werent mercied (once the lead reached 8 the game is essentially over (mercy rule invoked) with no further scores counted). In probably our favourite game of the comp we scrambled and defended until we could hardly breathe, not enough however as Cabano scored 4 goals on us.... still they mercied all other teams in our pool without conceding a goal.. and we even came close to scoring a couple ourselves .. so even though we lost were kind of satisfied.. however we know we have to do better in the future.. Day 3: Australia 3 vs Japan 0 Goal Scorers: Derek Turner 2, Kerry Baxter Game MVP: Derek Turner Story: Our final round game was vs Japan.. we needed to win to finish third in our pool, a loss would see us 4th and up against eventual winnners Briquetal from Quebec in the quarter finals. We started awesome with a goal in the first 20 seconds.. and eventually went on to win 3-0.  We mix up with the Japanese for a photo after our final round game. So 3rd in our pool with 3 wins and 2 losses put us up against Ontario Wildcats in the quarter finals. Day 4: Quarter Finals 2nd Pool A Ontario Wild Cats (CAN) 8 defeated 3rd Pool B Australia 0 Story: Unfortunately Wildcats came out with something to prove and belted us 8-0 in the quarter, so ended our tournament.  Aussie Green vs Ontario Wild Cats - Quarter Final, World Broomball Championships. Other Quarter Finals 1st Pool B Cabano (CAN) 6 defeated 4th Pool A SilverBullets (CAN) 1 3rd Pool A Minnesota No Bull (USA) 2 defeated 2nd Pool B NewFoundland Bullets (CAN) 0 1st Pool A Briquetal (CAN) 8 defeated 4th Pool B Japan 0 Semi Finals Cabano (CAN) 1 defeated Ontario Wild Cats (CAN) 0 Briquetal (CAN) 6 defeated Minnesota No Bull (USA) 0 Day 5: Bronze Medal Game Ontario Wild Cats (CAN) 2 defeated Minnesota No Bull (USA) 0 World Cup Final Briquetal (CAN) 3 defeated Cabano (CAN) 0 CONGRATS To Kerry Baxter who was selected in the 2nd All Star Team for the tournament. OVERALL Unlike in Australia were the sport is rather unknown everyone in the small communities of CornerBrook and Deer Lake knew what broomball was. We had partial celeb status, with everyone stopping to talk to us, ask how we are going and if we wanted to come over for dinner. Kids asked for autographs and players from all the other countries wanted to party with us. Just about all of us did radio and/or tv interviews and we were front page news every day of the week. Over all it was a fantastic trip with a great bunch of people, I recomend this kind of trip to everyone.. get on it !! Individual Player Statistics
