welcome to
caps nation
Welcome #capsnation to round 6 of QBL19 and this
round finds both of our men’s and women’s team
at full strength for the first time this season, except
of course for our injured Captain Emma Read who
underwent knee surgery Thursday week ago – get well
soon Emma. This week saw one the competition’s
former MVP players Shanavia Dowdell arrive at the
Capitals – welcome Shanavia we hope you enjoy your
stay in Brisbane and I must welcome Issy Parker back
home to the Capitals. Issy is one of our former juniors
who has been at College and is currently on holiday
and will return to the states to resume her studies later
this year.
In recent weeks we have travelled to Seahawks, Pirates,
Rip City and Southern Districts with mixed results – we
narrowly missed taking home the Mick McSween Cup
at Districts – the win loss margin was not in our favour
by 2 points. Zac Carter has spent a number of weeks
out due to injury and returned to the team in time for
Spartans game. Jason Cadee was awarded player of
the round for round 4 – congratulations Jason.
Locally this week sees the GBL Silver and social
competitions enter into their finals – GBL Gold will
follow in late June you should keep this mind as the
men and women vie for championship rings.

Tonights game is the return game against RIP and we
expect both games to be close and want to protect
our home court. Road games are always tough so we
want to take advantage of the coming month where
we have 5 home games. While not a season defining
time it is an opportunity to set the season up for a
strong run to the finals.

Our SBL men and women are also progressing well
and both are undefeated at the moment – they will
have faced some stiff opposition at Wizards last night
(Friday).
In other news, the association received an award
as 2018 Administrator of the Year at the recent BQ
Awards and I would like to acknowledge and thank
everyone for the support I have received from our
members and clubs without which this honour would
not have been awarded.
