None now, too old, too lazy etc. etc.

Have played:

Footy
Basketball
Tennis
Cricket
Indoor Cricket
Volleyball
Indoor Beach Volley Ball

The highest level I made in any of those was basketball, when I was 16 I made the association U18 side and came to Adelaide for the country carnival, while our girls team were champions, we went through that tournament winless. :( but it was good experience.

I played in 14 Grand Finals (1 Footy, 2 Basketball, 6 Indoor Cricket, 2 Volleyball, 3 Indoor Beach Volleyball) for only 4 wins (2 Indoor Cricket, 2 Beach Volleyball) 2 of the wins we were rank outsiders, most of the losses we were expected to win, 4/14 is not a very good GF return. :oops:

Competitive:
Netball
Tennis
Basketball
Darts

For fun:
Lawn Bowls

Spent alot of my teenage years on Kangaroo Island and if you didn't play sport then you might as well not get out of bed :lol:

Best sporting achievement would have to be in darts:
Won the Womens Darts Championships at Meningie when I was 15 years old.

Also won trophies at Ayers Rock for most pegs in our team and highest average in 1994.
Played again briefly when returning to Ayers Rock in 2000 and won another trophy.

Anyone who has lived at Ayers Rock knows that Darts is their game up there :D

Picked up some darts 6 months ago for a game and practically missed the board :? :(
Yes I was very pissed off about that :((
So all this time later I'm obviously not very good at it anymore


O:)

I used to play Table Tennis at high school.... I was one of the best 'non-asian' players in the area... unfortunately that had me ranked about 153,643rd.....
Great fun though and still like bashing that little plastic ball !!!
I love grapes. With grapes, you always get another chance. You know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you’re stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. If you have a crappy grape, no problem-just move on to the next. ‘Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.

You don't often hear the word social used to describe Rugby League unless it's describing the beers afterwards! :lol:

In primary school I played soccer in the winter and was in the Nippers at Moana SLSC in summer. (I've got a lot of siblings so I was only allowed 1 sport in winter and 1 in summer!)

In high school I switched to Aussie Rules and haven't missed a season since.

I've played 1 season of cricket
Some Rugby League and korfball at school
Competitive and social Touch Footy
I enjoy the occasional round of golf.

Gym about same amount of time.
Basketball. 1 game at primary school. NFG
Softball. 4 games at primary school. Was only 2 males in team. So I left then the other male left as coping to much school ground flak.
