Kookaburras

Took the missus and kids to watch the Kookaburras take on Spain at the Perth hockey stadium yesterday. These guy's are just awesome, aussies No2 and Spain No3 in the world. The kookaburras turned it on and thrashed them 8/2 in a brilliant display of talent and skill. It was a great arvo.They were all sporting there Mo's for movember, it looked dodgy as but it's for a good cause.
I found it piss poor that there was international fixture of any sport in Perth and it didn't even rate a mention in the nightly news or on the WA today website.
Second test is on now so come on Aussies

Was pretty disappointed at the coverage it received... a basic inclusion and image in the Sunday Times, and not much better in todays West...
The web based news outlets didn't really pick it up....
Guess it all comes down to general public interest...
If it's not mainstream sport (cricket, AFL, horse racing) you can pretty much forget it. Even the NBL struggles to get much of a mention in the West.
cheers,
