SPO_Gunbalanya students Team players Natasha Yirbarbuk, Indiana Brown, and Shenea Mason from Gunbalanya Area school representing Northern Territory in softball.

ERA sponsored two students from Gunbalanya Area School to compete at the Pacific School Games in Softball late last year.

The girls travelled with their team mates to Adelaide for five days of inter-state competition in the under 12 age division.

In a report about their experiences the girls described the trip as exciting and a chance to make new friends.

“Most of the other teams stayed at the same place we stayed at, so we got to talk to a lot of other people from different states who played different sports,” the girls wrote.

“On the final day we played against Victoria and did a ‘mix-up’, we had blue zinc on our face and the Victoria girls wrote NT on their arms and we wrote Vic on our arms,” they said.
