End of a journey

So Worlds have finished...

We Dingos were disappointed by our quarterfinals loss to GB. Despite our strong win over them in the rounds, they brought a better game to the quarter, and we played poorly.

It was immediately followed by the chance to see Southern Terra win a nail-biting come-from-behind game over Colombia on the showfield. Aussies through to a WUGC final! A first.

The two Friday wins were a bit of a slug but we prevailed over Finland (a strong run of Pommy zone helped) and Sweden (hot 4pm sun drained them) to take 5th. Other Aussie teams put strong efforts into their semis but none prevailed :(

Since then, its been photos, farewells, finals, dancing, mistaken identities, hangovers and missing teammates. Basically, busy!

Today is Captain Jonathan's birthday and we hope he is in good hands somewhere.
