Albury Holbrook Polocrosse Club

With our sights firmly set on 2027, we are very happy to officially announce the competition dates for the 2027 Australian Polocrosse Nationals will be, Monday 21 to Sunday 27 June 2027.

⭐️Bluegate Polocrosse Carnival⭐️
This weekend Albury send 3 teams and 1 super Subbie to Pretty Pine for Bluegate’s carnival.

Jackson had a ripper weekend in Subbies, making sure to let everyone know when he had the ball. Jackson spent most of the weekend out the back as a no. 3, stopping goals and giving the sideline lots to cheer for. Jackson’s skills were well recognised and he was awarded rising star in the Subbies.

Kendal, Summer, Bruce, Elsie, Tim and Mike had a fun and fabulous weekend in the C grade, making sure they got their money’s worth out of the carnival and having all 4 games. Kendal, Summer and Bruce worked very well together, display some beautiful polocrosse. Everyone quickly learnt the art of looking for a pass rather than going for the bounce. Elsie, Tim and Mike powered through all of their games, scoring heaps of goals and keeping the smiles on their faces the entire time. We are seeing lots of improvement from all of these players.

Chloe, Clare, Max, Ellen, Dylan and Fiona played very well throughout the entire weekend. Chloe, Clare and Max had a blast every chukka they played together. Max and her unreal pick ups made her unstoppable this weekend. Ellen, Dylan and Fiona dominated their chukkas. Dylan was on fire making sure no ball was left behind. Ellen was pulling out all of her phenomenal ball skills, throwing many goals throughout the weekend.

Erin, Jeffery, Cyle, Ross and Elissa played 2 outstanding games on Saturday, winning their first game in extra time with a very entertaining winning goal. Erin doubled up this weekend showing us all how the sport should be player. After a very intense and competitive final, Albury walked away as A grade runners up. Erin was awarded best horse and riding after a very passionate display of polocrosse throughout the entire weekend.

To top it all off, Bruce won one of the raffles. Well done Bruce!

Sarah Cavill was our chief photographer this weekend, making sure to capture some great shots throughout the carnival.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Bluegate Polocrosse Club for their incredible hospitality.

Our Final Player of the Match for the weekend goes to our very own Lucy Grills! Lucy was the calm steady hand in a firey final contributing to her teams dominant win of the Dunoon Angus Holbrook Cup!

Thank you for the final time to Holbrook Breeders Australia for the wonderful support across the weekend as well as all of our sponsors who played a large part in making such an awesome weekend happen 🌟

In a thrilling B Open Final we have the young Charlie Spillane as our Player of the Match. What a game from Charlie as he played against a mentor and definitely held his own. And what a game it was with the scores locked at all of the breaks except the last, where Lake George pinched the win.

We couldn’t do it without you Holbrook Breeders Australia. Your support has made this weekend one that will not be forgotten 🐎

For the second time this weekend we have Tom Bradshaw as our Holbrook Breeders Australia Player of the Match! What an incredible effort from the young gun across all three matches this weekend! 🌟

Thank you to both Holbrook Breeders Australia for sponsoring this award and Rose Grange Pastoral for sponsoring the series, which turned out to be an absolute cracker 🐎

The Holbrook Breeders Australia Player of the Match for our A Open Final goes to Angus Cooper! Angus won heaps of ball out the back, playing an awesome game for Moorooduc.

Polocrosse carnivals would not be what they are with out the support of sponsorship. Thank you to all of our sponsors, what a wonderful weekend it has been thanks to you! 🌟

Our Sunday Round 2 Player of the Match goes to Eliza Hyde! It was a great match full of very young talent, Eliza threw goals all over the place, contributing to her side winning the D Open.

This wouldn’t be possible without the very generous sponsorship from Holbrook Breeders Australia who have donated a hat and a cash prize for every round for this weekend. We are so lucky to have such wonderful support of our sport. 🐎
