The Australian Masters Games wrapped up with a wonderful closing ceremony on Saturday at the incredible WA Museum Boola Bardip.
Officially closed by the Hon. Samantha Rowe MLC, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Sport and Recreation, Volleyball WA was honoured with the role of passing the flag to SA, the 2023 host City. Our very own Karen Wickham, Participation Manager here at VWA handing the flag to participants Robin Golding and Kathryn Larsen.
Sixty-six teams took to the courts at City Beach across four days, competing in pairs and fours, across several age categories. Our oldest tournament player Linda Clayton (71) took out Gold in the Women’s Pairs 60+ with partner Joan Strikwerda-Brown adding to her already impressive medal haul from previous Masters Games.
